The Pittsburgh Technology Council is the largest regional technology trade association in the United States with 1,400 member companies within its geographic territory of 13 counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. Its mission is to contribute to the success of the region’s technology businesses, and it focuses on developing the economic strength of several industry clusters, including information technology, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, advanced materials and environmental technology.

Since 1983 The Council has been the principal point of connection for these areas of the technology industry, and the list of their associations and networks is constantly growing. As the technology industry changes and more individuals and businesses develop new ways to incorporate technology into their daily lives, The Council remains a ready source of information and assistance to individuals, technology start-ups, and innovators. With such strong and long lived ties to the technology industry in Pittsburgh, it is no wonder that PTC chose to sponsor Podcamp Pittsburgh 3. Their strong support of the growing interest in technology in the Pittsburgh region makes them a valued part of our PCPGH3 sponsor family.

The Council’s principal function is to provide technical, administrative and economic assistance to advanced technology companies in both the manufacturing and service sectors. PTC achieves this by facilitating entrepreneurial activities, conducting and publicizing industry research, promoting the technology industry and providing advocacy and public policy services. The Council also develops cost-saving plans, provides recruiting and human resource assistance, and continues to build an identity for the region’s entrepreneurial technologies.

The relationship between the Pittsburgh Technology Council and the Pittsburgh technology community has always been important for both parties, and their sponsorship of Podcamp Pittsburgh 3 this year ensures that those relationships have an opportunity to grow.
