The Small Business Technology Council, the nation’s first small-business advocacy organization celebrating for over 75 years, is a non-partisan, non-profit industry association of companies. The organization is dedicated to supporting the creation and growth of research-intensive, technology-based U.S. small businesses. This year the SBTC hosted an in-person meeting for SBTC members at their office building in Washington DC.  IFT joined Hill staffers, government officials, and policymakers to participate in conversations with members about current issues facing high-tech small businesses, particularly the recent SBIR reauthorization effort.
