History :: Staff :: Board of Directors :: Partners

The TransPecos/El Paso Regional Center of Innovation and Commercialization (TPEP RCIC) was founded in 2005 by UTEP and later developed by The Paso del Norte Group in response to the State’s request to have a regional entity capable of identifying and preparing applicants to the Texas Emerging Technology Fund. Today, the RCIC is a fully staffed independent 501(c) 3 with an active board of directors, a diverse advisory council, and numerous partner organizations.
