Toyota and the 'Advanced Technology Acceleration Corporation' (ATAC) have launched a new collaborative venture called the 'Innovative Technology Acceleration Platform' (ITAP). Through the ITAP, Toyota and ATAC aim to invest in businesses, startups, universities, and other entities that are creating forward-facing technologies.
Toyota's mission as part of this venture is "producing happiness for all" which it hopes to achieve by partnering with a diverse range of startups and entities creating innovative technologies. ATAC on the other hand will handle the logistic challenges that face ITAP partners. ATAC will leverage its expertise to identify R&D, social implementation, and commercialization paths for the new technologies. Essentially, ATAC will work with the startups and university-based entities in a hands-on way to guide the development of the innovative technologies.
