About the Technology Council

The Region 2000 Technology Council works to foster an environment that stimulates innovation and growth of technology-focused organizations in our community. Our vision is that Virginia’s Region 2000 will be recognized as a place where technology-focused organizations thrive, STEM educational programs flourish, and where innovation and technology-based entrepreneurship are championed. Our region has a diverse mix of technology companies with very strong forecasts for growth. Our six primary technology sectors are Energy, Engineering, Information Technology, Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical, and Wireless Technologies.

The future of our region depends on building strong networks to support these growing technology sectors. We are working hard to build a community of people that want to partner with us to accomplish the following tasks:

Promote the development, growth, and recognition of the region's technology-focused organizations
Provide a forum in which technology-focused organizations can exchange ideas and information, and capitalize on business opportunities
Deliver programs and services that promote the recognition of and provide substantial value to the Council's members
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
Serve as an advocate for the Region on a broad range of technology issues at the local and state level
Provide assistance to local economic developers in the recruitment of new technology companies, technology park implementation efforts, and the development of the programs that enhance services to existing companies
Create an environment and sustainable programs in the region's K-12 schools that enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Math career interest
