Legislative Agenda

The Connecticut Technology Council is committed to encouraging entrepreneurial growth in Connecticut.

During the 2008 Legislative Session, the CTC made the case for:

Tax credits for Angel Investors

This would leverage private dollars to create jobs and keep Connecticut competitive with other states in attracting new high technology firms.  The bill didn't pass in the short, tight-budget 2008 legislative session, but with our supporters, we will revive it in 2009!
