In alignment with its mission to improve safety, promote accessibility, and advance sustainability in the mobility and transportation industry, Thrive has joined TennSMART as an affiliate organization.

The TennSMART consortium brings leaders together to develop and implement intelligent mobility innovations in the Tennessee and Southeast region. The consortium's research and development centers around connected, automated, and electric vehicles as well as freight efficiency, multimodal commuting, and cybersecurity.

TennSMART works with vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, fleet operators, software developers, utilities, and regulators to develop technological breakthroughs that will connect vehicles, buildings, and the grid.

As an affiliate, Thrive will be able to participate on the consortium's Technical Advisory Committee, earn letters of support for competitive grants, network with industry stakeholders, and participate in TennSMART events such as the upcoming Tennessee Smart Mobility Expo August 4-6.
