This week on Austin Tech Connect we tackle the world of government policy, and why it matters to Austin's small and mid-sized tech companies. Our guest is Lindsay Ries, Director of Government Affairs at TECNA (The Technology Council's of North America).

Lindsay has two decades of experience in Washington DC policy, and is committed to helping growth oriented technology companies have their voices heard on Capitol Hill.

In this interview she talks about how the Austin Technology Council and TECNA are working to influence and educate our elected officials on policy that matters to tech.

AI, Tax Policy, Energy Policy, Chips Act, Tariffs, etc.. will all impact the bottom line of our local entrepreneurs. There are many things now being proposed and tech cannot just wait and see what the elected officials do.... we must be involved in the creation of these policies.

The Austin Technology Council cares about these issues, and wants to ensure that Austin has a seat at the table for these discussions. Join ATC now and support our connection to TECNA.
