Tech-Focused Advocacy
The Technology Council works in five areas as an advocate for the region's technology focused business:
- We provide assistance to the region's economic developers in the recruitment of new technology firms, technology park implementation efforts, and the development of programs that enhance services to existing technology firms.
- We serve as a public policy advocate for the region on a broad range of technology issues at the local and state level.
- We participate in the Virginia Technology Alliance to drive visibility and awareness of the Region 2000 Technology Council, its members, and the region to other regions within the state.
- We provide assistance to the Center for Advanced Engineering and Research to bring University lead research and development to local companies and expand educational opportunities at a post graduate level.
- We provide counseling and referral services to Technology Entrepreneurs through our network of colleges, universities, non-profits, and various business support organizations.
