the ctc mission

CTC advances an innovation agenda developed to preserve and further California’s primacy in all forms of technology, application, systems and infrastructure. We serve a diverse membership community through advocacy, participation in the policymaking process, business development and a broad range of member services. Programming includes advocacy, original research, political activation, workforce development, educational programs, networking and business development, pre-commercial interaction with research institutions, and promotion of California’s long history of world leadership and achievement in technology and innovation.

What ARE OUR PRIORITIES?

OUR TOP PRIORITY FOR 2022 is tech participation and inclusion. Just before COVID, we started a strategy that took us deeper into exploratory partnerships around the state to places like Stockton, the Inland Empire, Bakersfield, and more.

One of our top on-going campaigns is partnering with inland and rural entrepreneurial organizations, incubators, and co-working spaces to support increased tech participation in new opportunities and growth. The California Technology Council is developing a range of new programs in the Talent Initiative, including:

• Opportunities for Girls in STEM pathways.

• Expanded training partnerships with public and private trainers in high priority fields for our members.

• Want to get involved? Get in touch. Visit our Contact Us page to sign up and become part of any of these programs.
