US Establishes Tech Force Program to Modernize Federal Government

The US Office of Personnel Management, in coordination with the Office of Management and Budget, the General Services Administration, the White House Office of Science Technology and Policy, and agency leaders across the administration, on Monday announced the establishment of the United States Tech Force, a new, cross-government program to recruit top technologists to modernize the federal government. "President Trump has made clear that securing America's leadership in AI is the paramount national challenge of this generation. The president's AI Action Plan focuses on unleashing private sector innovation while also recognizing the federal government must have the technical talent to lead in technology modernization. Tech Force is a critical aspect of this directive - a government-wide effort to surge teams of top engineers, data scientists, and technology leaders to tackle the government's most complex and large-scale challenges and deliver on the president's vision. In collaboration with leading private-sector technology companies, participants will receive world-class technical training and work closely with senior managers sourced directly from industry." OPM announced the initial private sector partners for Tech Force: Adobe (ADBE), Amazon Web Services (AMZN), AMD (AMD), Anduril, Apple (AAPL), Box (BOX), C3.ai (AI), Coinbase (COIN), Databricks, Dell Technologies (DELL), Docusign (DOCU), Google Public Sector (GOOGL), IBM (IBM), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), OpenAI, Oracle (ORCL), Palantir (PLTR), Robinhood (HOOD), Salesforce (CRM), SAP (SAP), ServiceNow (NOW), Snowflake (SNOW), Synopsys (SNPS), Uber (UBER), Workday (WDAY), xAI, and Zoom (ZM).
