Policy & Legislation The KC Tech Council actively engages in policy advocacy at multiple government levels and recently secured a statewide data center tax incentive (Kansas Senate Bill 98). This indicates a policy-savvy audience that values regulatory updates and public affairs support, suggesting opportunities to offer lobbying, government relations, and policy monitoring services.

Talent & Training With a strategic focus on workforce development and its employer-led KC TechBridge initiative, there is a clear demand for talent pipelines, upskilling programs, and recruitment partnerships. Potential offerings include training platforms, apprenticeship programs, and talent sourcing collaborations tailored to tech and adjacent industries.

Awards & Visibility Recent TECNA Innovation Awards recognition for marketing and public policy efforts signals strong branding and communications needs. This presents opportunities to provide marketing automation, digital storytelling, PR support, and event marketing services to amplify impact and attract member sponsorships.

Regional Advocacy As the regional advocate for the tech industry with cross-sector investor base, there is potential to partner on regional economic development initiatives, grant programs, and stakeholder engagement platforms. Solutions could include policy dashboards, stakeholder mapping, and advocacy coalition management tools.

Growth & Outreach Active participation in national forums and DC Fly-Ins indicates a willingness to expand influence beyond the Kansas City region. Sales opportunities exist for sponsorship packages, conference collaboration, and technology ecosystem networking platforms that help member companies scale and gain visibility nationwide.
