FORGE is proud to help strengthen Connecticut’s startup ecosystem by connecting founders with the people, resources, and manufacturing support they need to grow.

FORGE is a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization that connects well prepared startups creating exciting new physical products and components, with like minded, forward-thinking manufacturers, design firms, and engineers to support a self-fueling ecosystem of innovation. We operate on a startup first mentality, focused on making introductions that are right fit for the startup. The connections we make at FORGE help bring innovative products to market, create long lasting, mutually beneficial business relationships, and ultimately charge our local economy. FORGE is the nonprofit sister organization of Greentown Labs and has original roots in cleantech. However, our commitment to innovation has brought FORGE into a wide array of industries including aerospace, chemical and advanced materials, consumer products, robotics, defense, and agriculture water and waste. Beyond Greentown, FORGE also reaches and serves startups through strong relationships with top incubators, universities, and funds in the region including MassChallenge, MassRobotics, BOLT, MIT, UMass, and others.
