What Makes ACT Different

The Only Organization Dedicated to Small Business Innovation

ACT is the only organization focused on the needs of small business innovators from around the world.  We advocate for an environment that inspires and rewards innovation.  We also provide resources like the Innovators Network to help our members leverage their intellectual assets to raise capital, create jobs, and continue innovating. 

By Entrepreneurs, For Entrepreneurs

ACT was started a small group information technology entrepreneurs who felt their interests were not being represented in government.  Today, ACT is still run by entrepreneurs from the industry who intimately understand the challenges of building a business from the ground up. 

One World. One Agenda.

Regardless or region or nationality, small business innovators have largely the same interests from governments and regulators:  access, flexibility, and consistency.   Small businesses are looking for a consistent, predictable regulatory framework that provides them flexibility in business models and access to government programs.  ACT's public policy agenda throughout the world is derived from these core principles.
