The District of Columbia approaches technological innovation and economic growth with a focus on the participation of historically unrepresented communities. The Business Development team is committed to making Washington, DC the capital of inclusive innovation. Below are a few resources, events and tools provided to help reach that goal:

 Innovation & Technology Inclusion Council
 The Innovation & Technology Inclusion Council (ITIC) advises the Mayor and the public on ways in which to grow the District's innovation and tech-economy in an inclusive manner, increase the number of jobs and high-technology   businesses in the District, and ensure opportunities for all District residents.

 Pathways to Inclusion Report
 The ‘Pathways to Inclusion Report’ was cultivated from a commitment by Mayor Muriel Bowser and the ITIC to expand the District’s innovation economy in a way that will serve as a national model for inclusion and diversity.
