The SMART initiative is the integration of regional Science & Technology activities for issues, events & projects among the SMART Congressional Caucus (41 Representatives & 8 Senators), Federal Executive Branch HQs, the four State governments (Executive & Legislative branches of DE, MD, NJ & PA) and the collective weight of the regional tech community facilitated by SMART, a temporary NFP company. SMART is a national model for addressing efficient regional solutions for national and international S&T issues.

The Federal and State efforts include creating the nation’s first legislated, interstate, regional S&T Authority that would replace the temporary SMART NFP Company. This would be followed by other regions. For more information, visit http://www.smartstates.com.
