NAOAT / About NAOAT

The association for advanced technology companies.

Our mission is to build a strong community in every sector of advanced technology, connecting people with continuing education, practical resources, and a shared voice.

Sector communities

Bring together the companies, researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs advancing each technology field. Our twelve-sector approach creates a home for focused conversations while opening doors to collaboration across disciplines.

Continuing education

Help people keep learning as technology changes. Explore 20 self-paced courses with practical exercises and completion certificates. Company membership includes 12 courses for all employees; eight premium courses are sold separately.

Resources that support progress

Connect members with technology news, primary research, practical learning materials, and perspectives on bringing new technologies into use.

Advocacy and public policy

Develop a shared voice for advanced technology through policy education and member-informed advocacy. Our agenda includes building a lobbying program around the issues members identify; adopted positions and active campaigns will be published as they are established.

An annual gathering

Our vision includes an annual conference where sector communities can exchange ideas, meet collaborators, and share practical lessons. Dates, location, speakers, and registration will be announced when confirmed.

Who belongs here

Companies developing, manufacturing, integrating, or supporting advanced technologies—from emerging businesses to established enterprises. Membership dues scale with annual company revenue.
