How Tech Deployment Track Works

We help you do business in Alaska.

Tech Deployment Track can help mid- to late-stage startups determine their next best steps.

From September - April each year, Tech Deployment Track cohort companies work with the Launch Alaska team and an advisory panel of industry experts, mentors, decision-makers, and connectors to set ambitious goals and move toward deploying projects in Alaska. 

Companies remain in the Tech Deployment Track program as long as they continue to make progress toward project deployment in Alaska.

Success for Launch Alaska is when startups find Alaska project partners to deploy their tech, and investors and Alaska project partners access young companies with promising technology and plans for growth.
