We are your advocates for innovation. Through our policy work at the federal, state and local levels across North America, we support the innovation economy and fight laws and rules that delay, restrict or ban the development of consumer technologies.
Let’s face the most pressing issues —together.
New technology and innovative online platforms are threatened by overreaching mandates and outdated government rules.
We work closely with regulators, legislators and public policy stakeholders to represent the entire industry’s interests.
