Vermont Technology Alliance

WHO WE ARE

The Vermont Technology Alliance (VTTA) is the statewide voice for Vermont’s technology economy. We advocate thoughtfully for public policies that help technology companies innovate, grow, create jobs, and strengthen Vermont’s competitiveness.
VTTA brings together technology businesses, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to engage with policymakers and ensure that the needs of Vermont’s innovation economy are represented in legislative and regulatory discussions. Through advocacy, policy education, and strategic partnerships, we work to create an environment where technology-driven organizations can thrive.

Advocacy

VTTA is dedicated to advancing public policies that support a strong and sustainable technology sector in Vermont. As a trusted resource for legislators, state officials, and policymakers, we provide industry expertise and real-world perspectives on issues affecting technology businesses and technology-enabled organizations across the state. By speaking with a collective voice, VTTA helps ensure that Vermont’s technology community has meaningful influence on policies that shape the state’s economic future.

Our advocacy efforts focus on:

• Technology workforce attraction and development
• Broadband and infrastructure investment
• Entrepreneurship, innovation, and capital formation
• Artificial intelligence, data privacy, and emerging technology policy
• Tax and regulatory policies that encourage business growth
• Housing and other community investments that support workforce recruitment and retention

Our Public Policy Partnership

VTTA’s advocacy efforts are strengthened through our partnership with Leonine Public Affairs, a Vermont-based government relations and public affairs firm with deep expertise in legislative strategy, policy analysis, and state government affairs. Leonine works alongside VTTA to monitor legislation, engage with policymakers, analyze emerging issues, and represent the interests of Vermont’s technology sector throughout the legislative process.
Through this partnership, VTTA members benefit from professional advocacy and policy expertise that would be difficult to access individually. By working together, members amplify their voice and help shape policies that support innovation, entrepreneurship, and long-term economic growth in Vermont.

Mission

The Vermont Technology Alliance advances public policies that support the growth, success, and long-term vitality of Vermont’s technology economy.

Vision

A Vermont where technology companies, entrepreneurs, and innovators can start, grow, and succeed through forward-looking public policy, a strong talent pipeline, and a thriving innovation ecosystem.
