AeANET : AeA Oregon Council -

AeA, founded in 1943, is a nationwide non-profit trade association that represents all segments of the technology industry and is dedicated solely to helping our members� top line and bottom line. We do this in partnership with our small, medium, and large member companies by lobbying governments at the state, federal, and international levels; providing access to capital and business opportunities; and offering select business services and networking programs.

The AeA Oregon Council is the voice of the high-technology industry in Oregon. The AeA Oregon Council provides high-tech companies access to AeA's innovative services, networking opportunities, and a broad array of products to help positively impact their bottom line, which is increasingly important in our competitive and changing marketplace.

AeA Oregon Council provides its members continuous information on the legislative and regulatory matters facing our industry through the Weekly Oregon Capitol Update. These efforts along with open communication from our national policy team make certain the needs of the local technology community are met on both the state and national level.

We host events that are relevant and timely for our entire membership, small-to-medium-to-large size firms. These events serve as a participatory tool for our members that they might continue to engage in discussions and opportunities with their peers. We offer programs on topics ranging from supply chain management, federal and state procurement opportunities, access to capital, cyber security, privacy issues, and many more. To find out more information, please go to our Committee and Event pages.
