The Environmental Business and Technology Center (EBTC) is the Commonwealth’s venture development center for early stage, environmentally proactive technology businesses. The Center helps bring economically viable, environmentally advantageous technologies related to clean water, renewable energy, and better materials and industrial processes to the market.

The EBTC was created in 1994 at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) as part of the Commonwealth’s pioneering initiative, STEP, in which the Commonwealth, UMass and industry joined forces to promote the economic development of environmentally proactive industries. The Center can mobilize resources at the University of Massachusetts such as labs, equipment, scientific expertise and students, as well as regulatory expertise at the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs.
