Public/Private Industry Supported University Alliance Initiative

The SMART HBCU Research Cohort was established in 2019 as an industry intermediated research cohort of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), partnered with the minority tech industry with federal government support.  

Federal agencies recognize the power of an industry sponsored innovation ecosystem research initiative.  Particularly when outcomes are measured with equity and dignity in mind.  The SMART HBCU Research Cohort is focused on developing new supply chains utilizing a technology based economic development methodology.

The SMART HBCU program is governed by the Council Exchange Board of Trade (CEBOT), a research based 501(c)(6) trade association.  CEBOT works to leverage member capabilities with along with key stakeholder access, in an effort to bring prosperity to minority communities at scale.

Stimulating the economy through governance, infrastructure and innovation and public/private partnerships.

Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have made, and continue to make, extraordinary contributions to the general welfare and prosperity of our country.  The SMART HBCU university/industry partnership started at Norfolk State University focuses on strengthening HBCUs  through private/public partnerships that include the use of technology to increase contract awards and build capacity, leveraged capture, risk management and investment strategies with a research focus.

National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA),

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), located within the Department of Commerce, is the Executive Branch agency that is principally responsible by law for advising the President on telecommunications and information policy issues. NTIA’s programs and policymaking focus largely on expanding broadband Internet access and adoption in America, expanding the use of spectrum by all users, and ensuring that the Internet remains an engine for continued innovation and economic growth. These goals are critical to America’s competitiveness in the 21st century global economy and to addressing many of the nation’s most pressing needs, such as improving education, health care, and public safety.

This SMART HBCU HUB Invitational Workshop is scheduled as an HBCU only event to discuss the joint capabilities possible for HBCUs who are willing to partner with the Minority Technology Industry as governed by the Council Exchange Board of Trade (CEBOT) and the proposed SMART HBCU HUB at Norfolk State University, Cybersecurity Complex.

Our nation's first combined meeting between Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and the Minority Technology Industry was held as a webinar May 7th, 2020.  The desired outcome for the event is to initiate a research cohort dedicated to developing multiple federal contract teams over the next decade that will bring industry partnerships and revenue to universities and build capacity and allow for larger contract wins for the minority technology community.

The Council Exchange Board of Trade (CEBOT) has completed the first Request for Information (RFI) market research discovery process with minority technology companies.  The RFI followed CEBOT's vendor governance process and with a desire to support the HBCU Ecosystem.  

CEBOT has completed research on the development of a regional opportunity fund with the  intention to create multiple opportunity zone business joint ventures investments.   The primary purpose of the joint ventures is to stimulate the economy through governance, infrastructure and innovation and public/private partnerships.

The minority technology companies that participated in the vendor governance interviews self selected into a research cohort and will be invited to participate in a contractor team arrangement that binds the minority technology industry to the HBCU ecosystem.  

The SMART HBCU HUB federal contracting innovation is now in development in colleges and universities across the nation and now internationally.

The CEBOT Cyber Career Workforce Center (www.advancementresearch.org) is focused on the specific cybersecurity work role "All-Source Analysis" in the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework.  Developing an applied curriculum, deliver classroom instruction, and provide pathways to relevant career, college degree, and/or certification

Looking Forward Research & Development

Aligning economic choice with core human values  disrupts status quo and builds a sustainable business ecosystem.  Future profit ventures that focus on both customer and community needs  will prove most competitive.

Many aspects of the world economy are determined more by corporate action than government control.  Research indicates a growing need for industry perspectives and solutions to externalities and social safety nets that harmonize profit to measured outcomes for the common good of people and planet.

Engagement requires value and produces consensus when process is key.  Governance gives rise to planned growth both individually and throughout the ecosystem.

Growth rises when not stifled by moral hazard.   CEBOT algorithms facilitate a deliberate system of principles to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes.

Innovation liberates possibilities, improves systems and can transform bureaucracies into managed serviced/resource based functions.
