Massachusetts TechHub
Designated as a TechHub in Advanced Mobility Technologies by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech) and awarded $99,990 through a Strategy Development Grant, AMTI plays a central role in advancing the Commonwealth’s ability to operationalize emerging transportation systems. The initiative supports cross-sector partnerships, accelerates readiness for implementation, and ensures the North Shore is an active proving ground for next-generation mobility.
"The future of transportation depends on our ability to safely test, validate, and integrate new technologies into existing systems. AMTI helps create the environment where innovation can move from the lab into the real-world.”"
Denise Garcia
Administrator of the Aeronautics Division at the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)

From Innovation to Implementation

Guided by MassAutonomy’s innovation framework and MassDOT Aeronautics’ commitment to safety and sustainability, AMTI is building the physical, regulatory, and collaborative infrastructure needed to support testing, piloting, and operational deployment in areas such as autonomous aviation, robotics, maritime systems, and multimodal transportation.

This growing ecosystem brings real-world experimentation onto campus and into regional partnerships, enabling technology developers, policymakers, and operators to work side by side. AMTI prioritizes use cases, test environments, and applied research that reflect the operational challenges shaping next-generation mobility systems.

"AMTI is about closing the gap between innovation and implementation. By aligning public agencies, industry, and applied research, we’re creating a pathway for advanced mobility technologies to be deployed responsibly and at scale."
Dr. Jeff DeCarlo
CEO of MassAutonomy

These investments are helping to build the physical and collaborative spaces that open pathways into high-demand careers—and empower students to contribute to technologies that are still being defined.

Developing Careers Through Real Operations

Within AMTI’s operational ecosystem, Endicott College provides the physical and collaborative infrastructure where emerging technologies are tested, piloted, and prepared for deployment. Students gain exposure to the same environments where technologies are tested and decisions are made. As AMTI’s collaborative programs expand, students engage with live projects, testbeds, and team-based challenges that mirror industry and public-sector priorities.

These investments help build both the capacity to operationalize new technology and the workforce needed to sustain it—preparing students for high-demand careers while contributing to systems that are actively being shaped today.

Powered by Partnership

AMTI brings together academia, industry, and government leaders, and local communities to drive a unified approach to innovation. With MassAutonomy’s leadership and MassDOT Aeronautics’ commitment to safe, sustainable mobility, Endicott College provides the campus, facilities, and support for students to work alongside experts defining the future of transportation.

As Dean of Science & Technology, Dr. Gene Wong puts it:

“This is an opportunity for students to build the future of autonomous mobility—and to do it with the very leaders shaping the industry.”
