GROWING DIVERSE TECHNOLOGY TALENT AND INNOVATION IN THE MILWAUKEE REGION
The Milwaukee Tech Hub Coalition brings together companies, entrepreneurs, educators, community organizations and other individuals invested in growing tech talent and innovation in the region.
Our mission is to double the tech talent in the Milwaukee region in order to drive regional economic success, foster tech opportunities, and meet Employers’ growing need for skilled tech talent.
A STRONG TECH ECOSYSTEM
Our approach to growing technology in the Milwaukee region is holistic: driving demand for jobs and matching it with the right supply. One cannot exist without the other.
Through showcasing the region’s vibrant tech community and working to expand the number of tech companies and startups in the region we can build more demand for advanced technology jobs. Building a diverse tech workforce to match that demand requires rethinking how and where we source tech talent, from attracting individuals to our region, up/re-skilling tech workers, and creating an education pipeline to inspire the next generation of talent and retain them in our region.
Why Milwaukee
Some of the world’s most dynamic companies and individuals have found plenty of great reasons to make Milwaukee their home.
