 中国旅美康州科技协会（CAST-CT）于2001年创办，既作为中国旅美科技协会（CAST-USA，1992年成立）的一个分会，也于2006年在康州独立注册为非赢利机构，并于2008年初独立取得非赢利机构免税资格。康州科协致力于建立新一代华人学者和专业人士包括康州从北到南的科研人员、工程师、企业、经贸和金融界人士等的交流、合作、创业和发展的平台，并成为美中文化、科技、教育及经贸等领域友谊和合作桥梁的康州“桥头堡”。 康州科技协会成立以来已逐步发展，开展了许多科技商务和文化交流的活动，包括协会内专业人员的学术研讨会，会员之间及与康州的兄弟华人协会之间的联谊活动（中国传统节日的联欢活动, BBQ聚会等），协会会员与中国访美专业团体（主要是大学代表团，高科技创业园）之间的交流活动，以及回国访问交流参加武汉华创会、广州留交会、北京科技创业周等等。我们也在本地主办协办了支持奥运和为四川地震捐款赈灾等活动。在这些活动中，CAST-CT充分发挥了组织、协调，桥梁和平台作用。 CAST-CT理事会还在总会的支持下，组织了专刊纪念我分会顾问、著名动物克隆专家康州大学的杨向中教授。 CAST-CT领衔承办的2007年第十五届CAST-USA年会及主办的“2007美-中论坛” (主题：从知识和创新到环球市场)吸引了很多美中科技和教育界精英（十余名校长院长和美国工程院士）、政府代表（康州州务卿，广东省副省长）和很多商界重要人士包括五百强公司代表参加，产生了积极的深远的影响，获得了很大的成功。 耶鲁中国学生学者联合会的历届主席、康州华社、和CAST-USA的各兄弟协会一直给于我们巨大的支持和良好的合作。另外，我们还得到了耶鲁大学著名教授干细胞研究所主任林海凡、遗传系副主任许田，中国武汉大软件学院院长周怀北、南开大学生命学院院长尹芝南、副院长刘林和康州干细胞中心徐仁和主任等的热情支持，他们分别担任学会顾问、主办学术讲座或支持参加我们的学术活动，是协会成功的重要保证。
