The Professional Services Council announced on Sept. 16 that it is joining forces with the California Technology Council to help make it easier for the tech sector to break into government procurement channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pair have entered into a memorandum of understanding that will include partnering on advocacy campaigns, developing joint content and teaming up for meetings to promote easier access for innovative tech to enter the procurement process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our members share an interest with CTC’s members in the continued evolution of the government marketplace,” said PSC president Stan Soloway. “Especially as increasingly disruptive technologies become more readily available for procurement, it is essential that the government have policies and processes in place that incentivize innovation and enable the broadest possible array of business relationships and models.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CTC provides research and advocacy for promoting technology-based solutions from Silicon Valley, and counts General Assembly, Bayer and commercial real estate group Transwestern among its member organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Innovators in California want to see a government marketplace more accessible to emerging growth companies,” CTC chief Matt Gardner said, in a statement. “Companies and their investors alike view the system as a challenge. Disruptive entrepreneurs are ready, willing, and able to contribute to the marketplace. They often need allies and partners to make the most of their potential. This is one of many aspects of our relationship with PSC that makes this collaboration ideal for our members.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSC also announced it would pair with CTC for a November seminar in Silicon Valley “on the state of the market for government procurement of disruptive technologies.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
