CCIA

CCIA operates a membership-funded association model. It creates value by aggregating the policy interests of technology and communications companies, translating those interests into lobbying, regulatory engagement, research publications, and coordinated public advocacy. Its outputs include membership representation, policy working groups, issue-specific initiatives, and research platforms that help members influence legislative and regulatory outcomes.

CCIA is a United States-based, international non-profit trade association representing technology, internet, communications, telecom, and software companies. Its core activity is policy advocacy: it organises collective industry representation, engages with policymakers and regulators, and publishes research and commentary on antitrust, privacy, intellectual property, competition, and broader digital economy issues.

The organisation generates revenue primarily through membership fees paid by corporate members rather than through software licensing, advertising, or transactional media activity. Its customers are mainly large technology and communications companies that want coordinated lobbying, policy intelligence, and participation in regulatory debates in the United States and Europe.
