- The next generation TSANet Connect 2.0 System
- Technology Partnerships (Alliance Partners and Strategic Partners)
TSANet Industry Advisors
TSANet invited industry consultants to the meeting to provide input on discussions and the TSANet Strategy. TSANet will include industry advisors as we develop the TSANet Strategy and start implementation in 2024. The industry consultants facilitated the workshops during this meeting:

Technology Partner Framework
One of the major initiatives during the next strategy cycle is to develop the TSANet Technology Partner Framework further. The industry consultants lead discussions on the critical elements of this framework and how TSANet can add value to Members through this framework.
