The business community has access to the best and brightest minds in Alabama to evaluate company needs and implement solutions. The Alabama Technology Network (ATN) collectively provides resources from the state's expansive two-year college system, the University of Alabama System, Auburn University and the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama.
Expert advice is available to companies in most business and industrial sectors. Topics include information technology, efficiency training, environmental safety, human resources, business services and management, industrial maintenance, and engineering and site selection services.
ATN can assess and evaluate, devise an action plan, then help execute the plan or find the right organization that can. ATN is the state's Manufacturing Extension Partnership affiliate of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. ATN's 16 regional centers are conveniently located across the state from the Tennessee Valley to Mobile Bay.
By fusing the talented resources of universities and colleges - with connection to business and government through the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama - ATN provides the equivalent of an in-house business consulting team.
