Strategic Economic and Energy Development (S.E.E.D.) is a proposed government corporation that advises United States agencies to implement new technologies to save time and money. While government agencies are given funds to upgrade their technology, many times they hire different contractors which results in an ineffective, decentralized system with a steep learning curve. S.E.E.D. aims to curb this unnecessary spending and ensure that the government receives long term, interoperable solutions that not only save money, but also help create jobs and improve our infrastructure. All technologies are tested against many non-negotiable requirements including interoperability, a centralized system, and a mandatory completion of a cost/benefit analysis.
