Strategic focus Position the Tech & Society Initiative as a nimble, university-backed think tank with a cross-disciplinary focus on technology, ethics, law and public policy. Sales opportunities exist in partnerships that leverage academic rigor for applied projects, policy modeling, and scalable pilots.

Small team agility With a lean team of 2-10 employees, emphasize lightweight collaboration models, pilot programs, and quick onboarding for technology partners. Proposals should highlight rapid prototyping, access to Georgetown’s broad academic resources, and low-friction engagement.

Technology stack fit The current stack includes statistical and data tools (JMP, MATLAB), cloud storage (Amazon S3), data curation (Omeka), collaboration (Google Workspace), visualization (Plotly), and scripting (Bash). Propose solutions that integrate with these tools or enhance data workflows, analytics, and dissemination.

Strategic partnerships Recent activity shows Georgetown expanding collaborations (on-campus dining partnerships, data institutes, and international office expansion). Target opportunities include data collaborations, policy impact projects, ethics and AI governance programs, and global expansion advisory services.

Risk management and governance Reports on data stewardship and sensitive data handling (Massive Data Institute leadership) indicate a priority on governance. Offer services around data governance frameworks, privacy compliance, AI risk assessment, and trust-worthy analytics to support responsible research and public policy work.
