The Northeastern Pennsylvania Technology Institute is an initiative sponsored by the Northeastern Pennsylvania colleges, universities, economic development groups, private foundations and industry. A Battelle Memorial Institute study on Northeastern Pennsylvania identified that in order to compete in the "new economy," the region must build on the assets of its colleges and universities.

The Northeastern Pennsylvania Technology Institute is a member-owned and governed organization. Current members include College Misericordia, East Stroudsburg University, Johnson College, Keystone College, King's College Lackawanna College, Luzerne County Community College, Marywood University, Pennsylvania State University (which holds a single founding membership on behalf of Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton Campuses), University of Scranton, Wilkes University and the Great Valley Technology Alliance.

The Vision of NPTI is to:

Be recognized as a center of collaboration, applied research, education and communication;
Serve as a common ground where research, training and employment needs and opportunities are communicated through formal and informal interactions;
Combine the resources of the area's higher educational and knowledge-based industries to provide and capture new funding for research, process development and knowledge exchange.
Leverage the region's research and development talent around the generation of ideas that stimulate the creation and distribution of knowledge.
