Momentum through Collaboration: MKE Tech’s Fifth Anniversary

Celebrate MKE Tech’s 5th anniversary as we look back at our history and look to our future.

 

 

 

Thank you to everyone who attended our 5th anniversary celebration! Watch the event below.

Since the inception of the MKE Tech Hub Coalition, we’ve been guided by a bold vision of technology as an economic driver in the region. We’ve operated with a civic mindset, while remaining curious to address the region’s most pressing needs in tech.

As the region has advanced, we’ve kept these questions at the forefront:

1. Where are there market gaps?

2. How can we capture market opportunities through collaboration?

By keeping these questions in the forefront, it has allowed us to be market responsive, forming momentum through collaboration and playing the role of a unifier.

With the future in mind, we continue to believe in building a better, stronger and more diverse tech hub anchored by our three pillars:

1. Attracting Tech companies and Talent

2. Building a Diverse tech Talent Pipeline

3. Scaling the Innovation Ecosystem

We can promise we will chart a course with the region’s best interest in mind, as we seek to be on the cutting-edge of innovation. In a celebratory fashion, we invite you to be a part of our 5-Year Anniversary on Friday, Nov. 22!
