  • Meet the TA Leadership

The Technology Alliance is a statewide, not-for-profit organization of leaders from Washington’s diverse technology and related businesses and research institutions dedicated to our state’s long-term economic success.

Through programs, events, research studies and policy activities, the Technology Alliance mobilizes support for three key drivers of a vibrant technology-based economy benefiting all of Washington’s citizens:

  • Excellent education systems, empowering our children to succeed in the jobs of the future;
  • Strong research capacity, generating the ideas and innovations of tomorrow; and
  • A robust entrepreneurial environment, supporting the growth of companies translating scientific discoveries and innovative technologies into new products, services and jobs in our state.

Signature programs include the Alliance of Angels, which facilitates access to capital for early stage companies with high growth potential and advances entrepreneur and investor education, and the Discovery Series, a breakfast program in Seattle and Spokane which builds appreciation for the important contributions of Washington’s research institutions and innovative companies.
