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. Take a look at our Council District Map View (top right), and visit our strategic alliance website nmtcusa.com. It is clear that Minority Technology Companies can be found across the United States of America. Minority Technology Companies are trusted employers and suppliers.
Many of our representative companies hold contracts with Federal and State governments. Commercial markets rely on our companies for quality products and services. I encourage you to visit these highlighted company websites. They are a national representation of the 4,500 companies the Council works to represent on both a State and Federal level.
We are very thankful for and deeply appreciate the many contributors to this website.
Our members and partners spend countless hours working to build successful companies.
We appreciate time spent sharing ideas and best practices with us and providing your thoughts and
feelings with our members at large.
Karl Cureton, NMTC Chair
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.
