Program Overview: 
The Technology Gateway Program (TECHGATE) is intended to establish a large-scale cyber and digital technology and knowledge transfer program that incentivizes eligible foreign governments’ purchase and use of trusted and American digital technology solutions in furtherance of both U.S. foreign policy and national security interests.  Through this program and in partnership with the selected Implementer, the U.S. Government can provide a unique value by offering a “total package approach” that helps partners navigate issues of requirements identification, best value, technical and system complexity, absorptive capacity, and country-specific logistical and export/import controls.  Capacity building and economic sustainability is an integral component of each part of TECHGATE’s structured procurement and delivery process to ensure that the recipient country gains relevant skills in requirements identification and assessment, research and procurement, logistics, deployment, and configuration.  Upon delivery, a robust package of training and technical skills-uplift will ensure that recipients are prepared to adopt and integrate new technology packages into their environment. 

This is a new program, designed to: 1) respond to foreign governments’ demands for access and capacity to American and trusted cyber and digital technologies; 2) streamline the Department’s ability to transfer new-to-market and proven, trusted Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) cyber and digital technologies; 3) design and execute robust packages of logistics/procurement, deployment, and technical knowledge-transfer that foster recipient capacity to independently modernize and secure systems; 4) provide clear parameters for cyber and digital technology supplier entry and eligibility; and 5) provide guidelines for foreign governments’ eligibility, including adherence to U.S.-supported best practices and policies in cyberspace.
