CIT Connect is a service line dedicated to helping large-scale federal and corporate consumers of technology identify and assimilate innovation created in private sector start-up companies. 

For technology consumers, the Connect service delivers unique and innovative value-add solutions that have just entered the marketplace.  Technology producers receive value from Connect by being able to extend their market development activities without expanding their marketing and sales staffs.  The Connect program operates by working with technology consumers to help them identify their core technology constraints.  These problem sets are converted to search criteria and compared to proprietary databases and search facilities to discover companies and innovations that address the need of the consumer. 

The Connect service is based on 20 years of CIT experience delivering technology identification and assimilation consulting services to US government agencies and private sector companies.
