NMTC

Welcome

We are highlighting Minority Technology companies from over 30 different states and 40 Districts. The Minority Technology Industry is a vibrant fast growing and viable business segment. The Minority Technology Industry's combined annual revenue is estimated at over $100 Billion. We have a "Registered" membership database of over 9,000 companies with an estimated combined annual revenue of over $20 Billion. Take a look at our Council Districts view (top right corner of website).

STEM

It is critical for industry to create relevant linkages towards job readiness. Industry cannot put this burden on Educators alone. However business engagement is a science. The National Minority Technology Council is not only aware of the shortfall in talent but is also aware that there is a role it must play in recruiting and attracting young minds into the technology sectors.

With over 9,000 minority technology companies located across the US it is our purpose to expose talent graduate and undergraduate students to the tapestry of opportunities that line the streets of graduation. To this end the Council is partnering with Higher Education and our members to establish an internship program that is funded both by public, private and foundation resources.

Recognition

It is clear that Minority Technology Companies can be found across the United States of America. Thousands of minority technology companies hold contracts with Federal and State governments. Commercial markets rely on minority technology companies for quality products and services. Minority Technology Companies are trusted employers and their owners are community leaders.

In order to showcase the contributions and accomplishments of minority technology companies, the Council seeks nominations of those who have truly distinguished themselves within the technology industry. Please use the form below to help us recognize the best in our industry. Please check out our District websites to find out more about our awards program.

DEAL Centers

Last year the Council was reorganized and changed our articles to include a District formation strategy that allows for District level programs and membership. This move is critical and will allow local member growth and participation. Our first District event was held last year in NY. We have events and webinars scheduled to inform and creat awareness of the fact that our country has thousands of minority technology companies with proven capabilites and years sometimes decades of experience. Our 2017 goal is to develop local District offices called "DEAL Centers".

“Clearly our District members will represent one of the fastest growing sectors in the trillion dollar technology industry. By developing local offices we will be able to better link service offerings and potential buyers to our new members. Our hope is to leverage our alliance partner contributions from major corporations to keep membership pricing low, yet maintain high customer services and staff development. The important thing for us is to capture member capabilities so we can easily distribute this information to potential buyers in the Federal, State, Local government and Commercial market.”

Press Release

Event Website

Our beginnings: In 1999 Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore announced that he "is working with the private sector to create the nation's first Minority Technology Council. The Council will coordinate efforts with minority-owned technology business and existing regional technology councils across the state." Press Release. This was the first government announcement of the Council. Shortly after our Council Founder and Chair, Karl Cureton, was invited to speak as a panel guest for the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) on the Digital Divide. The Council has worked over the last decade with State, Federal Officials, and Corporate Executives to develop parity for minority suppliers in the IT marketplace. The Council has now formed a historic partnership of Minority companies ready to leverage their qualifications and reach.
