Regional Technology Councils

In the 1990s, CIT helped create regional technology councils to leverage the innovation message and agenda.  Today, there are 10 regional councils across the Commonwealth.  Together they formed the Virginia Technology Alliance in 1996 in order to share best practices, profit from the experience of fellow councils and to coordinate certain efforts.  These regional councils: 

1. Advocate for issues important to the growth and development of innovative technologies and technology-based organizations in the Commonwealth;
2. Educate state and local policy makers by providing a representative and objective source of information and counsel on technology issues; and
3. Communicate the economic importance of technology to Virginia's education, civic and business leaders.

For current information and to learn more about the regional technology council in your area of interest, please visit the Virginia Technology Alliance website.  Here you will find direct links to each technology council’s own website and current contact information.
