Mission
Louisiana TIES consists of both a residential and
virtual incubation program designed to accelerate technology
entrepreneurship and stimulate new and existing innovative
technology enterprises. It accomplishes this by developing
and leveraging people, partnerships, policies, and programs
for Louisiana’s revitalization. It is our objective to
provide technical assistance to start-ups, university
spin-offs, and existing entrepreneurial firms across
Louisiana.
Louisiana TIES Programs:
The Residential TIES Program: The objective of this
program is to provide the essential support system needed to
incubate start-up technology firms. This includes assistance
to businesses with applied research, application
development, testing, validation, and commercial production.
The program also provides incubatees with expertise,
training, and access to high performance computing and high
performance visualization technology infrastructure. The
residential TIES program for new business development is set
in a culture of innovation and technology-driven job
creation.
The Virtual TIES Program:
This program diversifies TIES’ economic development
strategy by providing technical assistance and support
services to technology companies that are not physically
housed within the incubator. Virtual incubatees can avail
themselves of all the technical and business assistance
services offered to residential incubatees. The virtual TIES
program enables Louisiana technology businesses to enhance
their product and service offerings by utilizing the
expertise, infrastructure, and services offered by TIES. The
virtual TIES program helps technology providers to innovate,
stay in Louisiana, and add high-quality jobs to their
communities.
