About the Technology Association of Iowa

Who We Are

The Technology Association of Iowa (TAI) is the premier member-based trade association driving the success of Iowa's technology industry.

Today, Iowa's information technology industry has expanded to over 3,000 companies employing over 46,000 people - and the numbers are steadily growing. In addition, major industry sectors such as finance, insurance and manufacturing rely on information technology and employ at least two to three times the number of technology workers.

Iowa's tech sector fuels broad-based economic growth, and is the foundation for the state's 21st Century economy.

Established in 1997, the original organization formed through the joint efforts of industry leaders, the Iowa Department of Economic Development and the Governor of Iowa, and was known as the Software Council of Iowa.

Today, as the Technology Association of Iowa, the organization strives to strengthen Iowa's technology ecosystem and enhance the state's reputation as a technically advanced place where world-class technology firms and organizations thrive.

What We Do

Iowa's future economic vitality depends on the success of the state's technology sector.

TAI focuses on addressing the needs and challenges of technology organizations and giving them the tools they need to succeed.

Through efforts to collaborate, educate and connect, TAI works to create the best public policy in the nation, works to enhance access to workforce and to develop Iowa's future talent pool, connects businesses to resources, encourages collaborations, and promotes the tech sector and member companies.

We work with business, education and political leaders statewide to make Iowa a vibrant, attractive and rewarding place for technology companies to do business, and for high-tech professionals to live and work.

TAI's member companies work together to support their own enterprises while advancing Iowa's reputation as a technically advanced state. Together, our work fuels the thriving technology sector that makes Iowa a great place for world-class technology organizations.
