History

Based in Richmond, Virginia, RichTech serves to promote the region as a technology center and provides a vehicle for addressing the needs of central Virginia’s dynamic technology community.

Originally formed in 1989 as the Central Virginia High Technology Network, RichTech became one of nine technology councils in 1996 following the formation of the Center for Innovative Technology and the appointment of Virginia’s first Secretary of Technology. Since that time RichTech has supported our members representing technology producers, users and service providers, but also the supporting industries, organizations and institutions.
