ACT | The App Association’s members are at the forefront of innovation, leveraging technology to create meaningful solutions that drive positive change. Each week, we spotlight these trailblazing small businesses through our Member Monday series.
This summer, our Member Monday features highlighted how our global small tech members are not only building impactful products and services, but they are also shaping key policy conversations, from regulatory clarity and decentralized innovation to the future of workforce development. Take a scroll down memory lane to learn more about our members.
June: Mid-Year Policy Check-In 
This month, we highlighted members whose innovations reflect the major policy conversations from the first half of the year. From artificial intelligence to digital platforms, our members are navigating shifting rules while continuing to deliver cutting-edge solutions. UK-based member company INSINTO exemplifies how AI can be both intuitive and transformative. By building accessible AI support agents, INSINTO helps organisations streamline operations without losing their human touch. Their work underscores the growing role of small businesses in keeping AI adoption people-first, efficient, and globally competitive. As governments refine their approaches to emerging technologies, members like INSINTO emphasise the need for clear, predictable frameworks that encourage innovation, protect consumers, and keep global markets open.
July: Web3, Crypto, and Decentralisation
In July, our Member Monday features turned to the next wave of digital innovation: Web3, blockchain, and decentralised tools. Our members are demonstrating how these technologies can power everything from digital identity to borderless transactions, while also addressing security, privacy, and interoperability. Across the EU, policymakers are debating how to balance innovation with safeguards for consumers and competition, and startups and small tech businesses are proving that their innovations are critical to building trust, scaling responsibly, and keeping the digital economy open to new players.
August: EdTech, Computer Science, and Workforce Education 
In August, we proudly highlighted Shtudy, a trailblazer in shaping tech’s workforce for the future. Their AI-powered platform connects companies with diverse, highly skilled software engineers, helping teams hire smarter and faster. As part of U.S. Black Business Month, we recognized Shtudy’s ongoing commitment to equity and inclusion in tech, ensuring the next generation of innovators can reflect the diversity of the world we live in. By harnessing computer science to power workforce education, Shtudy is building talent pipelines that meet industry demands while expanding opportunities for innovation to thrive.
We’re proud to showcase this summer’s Member Monday highlights. Each of these companies reflects the vibrant, resilient spirit of small and medium-sized businesses driving progress at the intersection of technology, policy, and purpose.
