The Technology Alliance is not a policy or advocacy organization. Our strength lies in the objective research we conduct, the bright lights we shine on creative solutions to some of the biggest constraints on the state's innovation economy, and the far-reach of our communications. Our reports, events, and programs are designed to illuminate paths forward for this region. We help frame the issues undergirding the economy - from education and talent, to entrepreneurism and research; and we showcase creative solutions that make a difference.
