NVTC’s Policy Agenda
We advocate for policies and investments that drive competitiveness and economic strength, grow our tech workforce, and provide the infrastructure necessary to power Virginia’s technology and innovation ecosystem.
The Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC) is the trade association representing the Northern Virginia technology community. As one of the nation’s largest technology councils, NVTC serves companies from all sectors of the industry, from small businesses and startups to Fortune 100 technology companies, as well as service providers, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations.
NVTC has worked for over 30 years in partnership with Virginia policymakers to advance a strong, innovative technology policy framework. We strongly advocate for policies and investments that drive competitiveness and economic strength, grow our tech workforce, and provide the infrastructure necessary to power Virginia’s technology and innovation ecosystem.
Advocating for Strong, Innovative Technology Policy Framework
In this effort, we advocate for Virginia policymakers to support the following objectives and priorities:
We advocate for policies that position Virginia as a top destination for tech.
How we do it:
- Support minimal taxation and regulation on business
- Maintain Virginia’s right-to-work status
- Eliminate barriers that drive businesses away
We help equip the next generation of talent with in-demand skills through internship and apprenticeship programs and education starting as early as K-12. Our goal: to increase the number of STEM certifications and degrees across Virginia and close the region’s tech talent gap.
From digital infrastructure to energy, we’re advocating to ensure Virginia companies have the resources they need to thrive on the world stage.
