In 2003, the BTM Corporation launched the BTM Institute. The international, nonprofit BTM Institute is the first organization of its kind to bring together a select group from the academic, corporate, government and thought leadership communities as a multi-disciplinary research think tank to address the long-standing need to manage business and technology together. Through various research initiatives, publications, books, and knowledge exchanges, it is the goal of the BTM Institute to continuously advance the global knowledge of Business Technology Management (BTM). Over the years, the Institute has established an extensive research agenda and now leads this principal collaborative research effort among multifaceted experts and academics.
