TechAmerica, formed by the merger of AeA (formerly the American Electronics Association), the Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA), the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) and the Government Electronics & Information Technology Association (GEIA), offers leading federal market research and standards development programs to the high-tech industry at large. In partnership with our member companies and their government customers, TechAmerica studies the market for IT, research & technology, and advanced electronics products and services for defense and civil government agencies, then uses the findings to produce an annual 10-year Defense Forecast, a 5-year Federal IT Forecast, and special studies on key markets such as Homeland Security, Services & Support, and Information Assurance, among others.

Our unique market forecasting process enables us to connect industry with government, creating opportunities for members to conduct interviews with government customers. We also create best-practice industry standards as an ANSI-accredited national standards developer, and advocate on behalf of our industry on a host of issues to the legislative and executive branches of government.
