Idaho Technology Council’s Knowledge Report

Idaho’s unprecedented economic and population growth in recent years is a source of pride. It assures us we are doing a lot of things right – governing with responsibility, maintaining a high quality of life, and listening to businesses about what they need (and don’t need) from government.

Our rapid growth also challenges political and economic leaders to help re-place traditional jobs by supporting an ecosystem where our technology industry can thrive. A diversified economy is a strong economy, and our success as a state depends on the success of our knowledge-based businesses.

I appreciate the work of the Idaho Technology Council in assembling leaders in industry, education, and workforce development to meet the needs of a grow-ing tech industry in Idaho. THE IDAHO KNOWLEDGE REPORT recognizes different parts of the state have different needs.

Thank you to all those who participate in these efforts. I personally appreciate the time and talent you dedicate to developing strategies that result in industry-leading products and services right here in Idaho. Your work is creating more opportunity for the citizens of our great state.

Sincerely,

Brad Little

Governor of Idaho
