Strategic Initiatives
Staying focused on what matters
WTIA exists to help technology companies prosper in Washington State. To support our mission, we employ the following key strategies:
Serve the Early-Stage Market Segment
Technology is a growth industry and an economic engine for our
state and nation. Washington's long-term standard of living and
socio-economic viability requires a community that strongly
supports innovation and technology-based development. A thriving
early-stage community provides the opportunity to create jobs, spur
innovation, and accelerate entrepreneurship in Washington. Supporting the
formation, growth, and sustainability of scalable technology
companies is one of our key directives. Show

Advocate in the Interest of Washington's Technology Sector
The vibrancy of the technology sector and public policy that
supports business go hand in hand. The technology ecosystem has a
fundamental need for high-quality public K-12 and higher education
to increase the supply of qualified business and technical
professionals in the state. Young companies need access to health
care, non-cumbersome regulation compliance, and freedom from an
excessively punitive tax environment. WTIA actively advocates for public
policy that supports these goals. Show
