The California Manufacturing Technology Center's (CMTC) focus is to assist smaller aerospace suppliers and rural manufacturers to transfer aerospace technologies to other commercial applications. The aerospace industry is the region's leading manufacturing sector accounting for 20% of employment in the region. These firms are predominately small and mid-size firms. The Los Angeles basin is the primary service area of the CMTC, containing more than 6,000 aerospace suppliers.

DOE's Innovative Concepts Program (InnCon) provides seed-money grants to encourage energy innovation and help new technologies move more quickly from the conceptual stage into the marketplace. The InnCon program seeks to be "first funder" for concept stage technology in specific problem areas, which for the past two years has been waste minimization/utilization. The seed funding is intended to fund concept definition to a stage at which other prospective sponsors can more clearly assess the potential of the concept. After grant completion, the funded projects showcase their technologies at a technology fair which is the primary mechanism for exposing potential sponsors to the concepts. The next technology fair will be held April 22-23, 1993. in Austin, Texas.
