NOTE TO EDITORS/NEWS DIRECTORS: NASA ANNOUNCES ALLIANCE FOR TECHNOLOGY 
EXCHANGE 

Media are invited to witness the announcement of a new effort to 
invigorate Ohio's economy at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, October 6, in NASA 
Glenn Research Center's Visitor Center Auditorium, Cleveland.



The Glenn Alliance for Technology Exchange is a newly formed 
collaboration between Glenn and two long-time partners, Ohio 
Aerospace Institute (OAI) and Battelle. Working closely with NorTech 
(Northeast Ohio Technology Coalition), OAI and Battelle will enter 
into a unique partnership to stimulate economic development in Ohio.



By building robust partnerships between Glenn and industry as well as 
academia, this alliance intends to enhance the positive impact of 
Glenn in both the region and state, and help further NASA's mission 
through the development and transfer of new technologies. The 
alliance's development of new cutting-edge products will work to 
attract federal and state research dollars, develop new products, 
create revenue and reduce cost for companies and help to create jobs.



Media representatives who plan to attend the announcement should call 
Katherine Martin or the Media Relations Office at (216) 433-2901.
