New technologies do not always fit old laws. SCETA works with policymakers to make South Carolina a friendly, forward-thinking home for innovation.

We are helping the state:

Become a testbed for blockchain and digital innovation.

Allow state-chartered banks to manage digital assets safely.

Explore how blockchain can make voting more secure.

Allow political candidates to receive donations in cryptocurrency.

Create clear rules for digital currencies and virtual assets.

Update legal codes to correctly define and protect digital property.

Protect programmers and coders as creators under free-speech laws.

And this is just the beginning.

Education

Making Complex Tech Easy to Learn

We believe everyone should understand how new technology works — not just tech experts.

SCETA hosts:

Educational events, workshops and talks with world-class experts.

Competitions and networking events for members and students.

Training for schools, businesses and government on AI, blockchain, energy and digital finance.

Our goal: to turn complex ideas into clear knowledge people can use in real life.
