PA Tech Tax: Urgent Action Needed
There has been a last-minute push by some negotiators to slip Governor Wolf's $330 million #TechTax into this year's budget. From a historical perspective, this is the point when terrible tax policies suddenly appear in state budgets during closed-door, late night negotiating sessions. We cannot let that happen. Please use our advocacy tool, offered in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Technology Council, to quickly and easily contact your legislator.
Check out our testimony to Philadelphia City Council.

First
Customer Connect Proves Successful
|
Three companies set the stage for the first installment of the PACT Customer Connect initiative. After a vibrant Technology Executive Roundtable discussion, enterprises Pfizer and Vanguard sat around the table to meet NIKSUN, ObjectFrontier, and EureQA. Each company received 10 minutes to pitch their technology to the two interested buyers in hopes of gaining new customers. Afterwards, both enterprises walked away impressed by PACT's entrepreneurs. They connected with the companies fitted to solve their particular issues and ultimately add more security.
Customer Connect represents one of PACT's three core focuses to serve the community towards innovation and growth. It will return this fall at the next Technology Executive Roundtable.
