- $100,000,000+
Saved - AeA SPAN programs across the country defeated
or improved expensive regulatory proposals and tax increases
- $600 Million+
Saved in State Technology Incentives
and Programs! AeA was instrumental in passing more than $600 million in
state economic incentives, education initiatives and other programs

This year, more onerous state legislative and
regulatory proposals were introduced on more issues and in more states than
ever before, exposing technology companies to cost increases, onerous
regulatory requirements and legal liability expansions.
