Founded in 2013, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc. (HTT) is a global team focused on removing barriers of speed and congestion in travel. HTT leverages technology, open innovation, and a passionate community of global experts to bring disruptive innovation to the transportation industry. HTT was the first to rise to the challenge of building the Hyperloop and is pursuing a vision that pairs a reduced carbon footprint with an increased sense of connection across the planet.
"At HTT, we believe in the audacious idea that our collective power can transform the world. That the opportunity to bring the Hyperloop to life is as breathtaking as traveling at the speed of sound. Unfortunately, today we accept gridlock, congestion, and pollution as an inevitable part of life. These problems are solvable, and I'm pleased for the opportunity to speak with executives and thought leaders at FiRe about overcoming our shared challenges in transportation," said Rob Miller, Head of Marketing at HTT.
"We are proud to be working with HTT to enable Elon Musk's vision for a clean, cool, solar-driven planet. The HTT crowd-engineering model is itself inspiring, and the HTT team is exactly right for this leading international project. I am delighted to have HTT as a FiReStarter for FiRe 2016, and I look forward to riding in the very first Hyperloop," said Mark Anderson, FiRe Chair and CEO of the Strategic News Service.
