SMART Congressional Initiative 

SMART Congressional Initiative

Strengthening the Mid-Atlantic Region for Tomorrow 2.0

Mission

SMART supports and facilitates Mid-Atlantic leadership of both public and private research and development, technology-based opportunities, and related workforce development for economic growth based upon priority National and International requirements.

SMART's Unique Range and Depth

Our uniqueness is collaboration among the full range and depth of the grassroots technology community of R&D academia, businesses, government laboratories and field agencies, and professional associations, supported by and in collaboration with federal, state, and international allied governments (within legal bounds).

Products and Metrics

SMART's three product categories are addressing technology-based issues, conducting events, and conducting projects and programs.

Since 1999, SMART has addressed multiple issues, conducted 346 major events, and conducted $625 million in projects and programs.

Leadership and Strategic Planning

These efforts are led by Mid-Atlantic government and technology community leadership and their national and international partners.

Capitol Hill Forums are conducted in the winter and summer among SMART leadership to address current priorities, emphasizing ongoing planning rather than a stagnant plan.
