Small Technology Business Initiative (STBI)

The Tech Tax had a very positive effect on the level of awareness and political involvement among scores of small tech companies that had been largely absent from the discussion of public policy matters.

To harness the tremendous energy unlocked by smaller technology businesses directly targeted by the Tech Tax, the Mass High Tech Council has launched the Small Technology Business Initiative (STBI), an effort that will be co-chaired by two leaders in the repeal movement – Andy Singleton of Assembla and David Reske of Nowspeed. Learn more..

Defense Technology Initiative (DTI)

In collaboration with several state and quasi-state agencies, DTI will continue the Defense Sector Study project with incremental reports and continue collaboration with the Massachusetts Military Asset and Security Strategy Task Force, whose goal is to protect and grow Massachusetts’ military installation missions. DTI will continue to organize regional leadership and stakeholders around key defense investment areas to create opportunities despite ongoing federal budget uncertainty. DTI will continue to identify and advocate for policies that lower the cost of doing business in Massachusetts and improve education and workforce development to support key programs that have a tremendous supply chain tail throughout Massachusetts and New England.  Learn more..
