Our Mission Our mission is to facilitate the transformation of Clovis and the Central Valley into an Innovative Technology Hub. We will accomplish this by developing strategies to encourage commercial ventures that both contribute to and benefit from our quality of life, high standards in education and numerous options for leisure.

The History Formed in 2005 as Technopolis Clovis Core Commitee, the citizen-based commitee now known as Technopolis Central California Collaborative (TC3), is an organic outgrowth of Clovis' core values and its proud history of innovation. The committee consists of community citizens and staff of the Clovis Community Development Agency (CCDA). In the first phase of its work, which began in August 2005, TC3 developed preliminary goals and objectives and a Concept Development Plan Outline. Using its analysis of what constitutes "A Place Called Clovis," TC3 began to identify disciplines that would be part of the technopolis and the challenges and opportunities in building the educational, entrepreneurial, cultural opportunities and other support required to foster the technopolis environment.

During Phase III, with the assistance of the consulting firm Key Writing Concepts, TC3 developed a Concept Development Plan that outlines the roads of a technopolis and its building. A series of symposia were conducted to educate the public on what a Technopolis is. In July of 2007, several members of TC3 traveled to Barcelona, Spain, for the International Association of Science Parks (IASP) conference. Four papers submitted by TC3 were published; one was presented. Agendas and minutes can be downloaded here Meeting Date and Location Every third Wednesday of every month at 5:30 pm. Meetings are held at the Public Safety Community Room: 1233 5th Street, Clovis, CA 93612. For more information, please contact us or call (559) 324-2092. IASP Paper 2009 IASP 2007 Papers |
