Sustainability has become a cornerstone for TechTown's Nextek Power Systems, allowing the company to hire six people at the business incubator this year.
Nextek Power Systems specializes in developing DC (direct current) power systems for commercial buildings. The New York-based company opened up its TechTown-based office so it could be closer to the region's automotive supplier base and its voracious appetite for energy.
"There has been an increased interest in higher energy efficiency and renewable energy," says Paul Savage, CEO of
Nextek Power Systems.
That increased interest in turning sustainability into profitability has allowed the firm to expand its presence in Detroit. Of the company's 15 employees, 10 of them are in
TechTown. It hopes to add a few more to its Detroit presence within the next year as the company consolidates and continues its growth.
