Partnership Development & Industry Teaming

The CMC Pilot Technology Readiness (CMCPilot) and Teaming Consortium (CMCTech) is an industry initiative aimed at leveraging the joint capabilities of anchor institutions and the minority technology industry.

The goal is to build a consortium that can create and implement strategic engagements that honor the politics of agreement while taking advantage of legislative policies like both the CHIPS ACT and the BIL, that, if there is both governance and agreement, there will be an immediate benefit to communities of color.

By leveraging the joint capabilities of anchor institutions and the minority tech industry, the consortium can create partnerships that benefit the community while promoting diversity and inclusion.

It is an excellent example of how public-private partnerships can drive innovation and create opportunities for underrepresented groups.

The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Office of Minority Broadband Initiative (OMBI) focused on solving broadband deployment challenges in vulnerable minority communities. 

OMBI will promote collaboration, knowledge sharing, and thought leadership amongst a variety of stakeholders to address the unique needs of minority communities and improve internet access and adoption. These stakeholders can provide valuable insights into challenges encountered by applicants, grantees, and collaborating entities, which can
 help inform OMBI’s strategic and tactical approach to closing the digital divide. These coordination efforts across the federal government, with external organizations, and with the institutions themselves are integral to OMBI’s vision.

OMBI will continue to engage with HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs, as well as their anchor communities. In addition, the Office will empower CMC grantees and collaborating entities with the tools, resources, and technical assistance necessary to close the digital divide at HBCU, TCU, and MSI anchor institutions and within their communities.

The Council Exchange Board of Trade (CEBOT) represents the now over 65,000 U.S. minority technology companies located across the nation.  This $110 Billion industry sector employs over 550,000.

Engagement requires value and produces consensus when process is key.  Governance gives rise to planned growth both individually and throughout the ecosystem.

Growth rises when not stifled by moral hazard.   CEBOT algorithms facilitate a deliberate system of principles to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes.

Innovation liberates possibilities, improves systems and can transform bureaucracies into managed serviced/resource based functions.
