About NOAA's Emerging Technologies Workshop
Partnerships for Our Earth System Observing Enterprise
October 25-28, 2021
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Emerging Technologies Workshop (ETW) is an event showcasing the latest innovations designed to collect, analyze, and synthesize environmental data.
The 2021 virtual workshop highlighted a wide variety of innovative technologies. Workshop attendees represented all six NOAA Line Offices in addition to stakeholders from other federal agencies, academia, and the private sector. This event aimed to improve the impact of emerging technologies through the end-to-end processes of:
- Discovery
- Development, and
- Deployment/Transition
