    ptcpartner  
     
  • PTC - PTC was the first vested partner to see, understand, and act on the vision of an
    innovation lab across NPS. They contributed with significant start-up funding and
    sustained in-kind grants of access to their award-winning software and training for NPS
    students and faculty.

     
  • The Village Bank - TVB has a long tradition of supporting NPS and the entire community.
    They were excited to continue that tradition by supporting the innovation lab with funding
    for the innovation bus, which will link the students and faculty across 21 schools in
    Newton.
