Project Exchange
ITBC can create a Project Exchange covering student projects, college projects, industry projects, startup projects, research projects, social-impact technology projects and business requirements.

Skill–Project Matching
A future Skill–Project Matching Engine can identify potential matches between a person's documented skills and project requirements. Matching should be treated as a recommendation mechanism, not a guarantee of selection or employment.
One Project – Many Benefits
A single real-world project can create student learning, faculty learning, a business solution, professional experience, research material, startup opportunities, journalism content and an archived case study.
Post a Project
A business owner should be able to submit a business problem, describe the current system, identify the desired improvement, indicate a budget range and timeline, and receive a structured pathway toward relevant technology categories and providers.
