Atlantic County Economic Alliance: Smart Airport and Aviation Partnership (SAAP)

Build-to-Scale (B2S)

The Atlantic County Economic Alliance (ACEA) is a private sector directed, nonprofit economic development corporation that was established for business attraction, retention, and marketing efforts in Atlantic County. ACEA, along with its lead partner, the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), together with Atlantic County, Cape May County, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), the National Aviation Research and Technology Park (NARTP), the New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII), and many industry, academic and government partners, propose to create a Smart Airport and Aviation Partnership (SAAP). The purpose of the SAAP program is to transform Southern New Jersey’s innovation ecosystem by providing incubation services, acceleration services, and commercialization services, and attracting new businesses into a high-tech cluster. The companies in the cluster will leverage “smart” infrastructure and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies for airport and aviation applications in collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and airports in both Atlantic County and Cape May County.
