Microsoft New England is launching a technology policy center in Cambridge to increase the computing giant's involvement with industry and government in Massachusetts, the company said.
The Microsoft Innovation & Policy Center in Kendall Square will be announced at an event today, and will focus on moving innovation from research to real world use as well as influencing government policies to help innovation thrive in New England.
"We want to bring together the region's key stakeholders from the technology, broader business, academic and government communities to respond to important issues that are byproducts or unintended consequences of technological advancements," Annmarie Levins, associate general counsel for Microsoft, wrote in a blog post. Levins will lead the center.
An uproar in the state's technology industry recently helped force the Legislature to revisit a controversial tech tax, and the tech community has begun organizing in the wake of the episode. Microsoft officials were not available to discuss the tech tax issue yesterday.
Similar Microsoft policy centers exist in places including Washington, D.C., and Silicon Valley.
Microsoft will also award a three-year, $350,000 grant to the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council's Education Foundation to help with its mission of increasing computer science in schools.
"This is going to really help us to start mobilizing industry even more," said MassTLC Education Foundation executive director Heather Carey. "I can't even tell you what this means to the education foundation."
