TECHNOLOGY INCLUSIVITY INITIATIVE (TI2)

Under the direction of Tech Board Chairman David Tohn, CEO of BTS Software Solutions, the Maryland Tech Council launched its Technology Inclusivity Initiative (TI2) to advance inclusivity within the State’s technology industry and fuel socioeconomic advancement throughout Maryland.

The Mission

TI2 is a statewide initiative that will capitalize on the strength of MTC as a statewide organization with almost 500 members and countless local and national partners in the technology industry to:

  • Identify, facilitate and enable solutions that advance diversity, equity and inclusivity within technology organizations and the technology industry in Maryland.
  • Identify, facilitate and enable technology-based solutions that enable socioeconomic advancement and empowerment of underrepresented groups who have significant potential.
  • Lay the groundwork for other states on how to develop and successfully implement an inclusion program

TI2 will address disparities through convening industry partners in the following five key pockets of Maryland, and actionable solutions will then be developed that lead to the effective application of technology and expertise for communities and technology companies:

  • Western Maryland
  • Eastern Shore
  • Greater Baltimore
