#SummerfestTech is excited to celebrate the MKE Tech Hub Coalition's 5 year anniversary! Will we see you there?
For our 5-year Anniversary, we will feature a conversation with Mark Muro, Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution. In 2019, Mark was one of the original writers who made the case for the U.S. Congress to assemble growth centers to spread tech innovation across America. Now, more formally known as tech hubs. As we prepare to welcome Mark to #MKETech, here are some takeaways to expect: ➟ The power of collaboration in a tech hub region (creating a balance of innovation across America) ➟ The case for the Power Framework (a guide in organizing and governing complex place-based economic strategies and coalitions) ➟ The progress and the future of southeast Wisconsin’s tech hub (momentum through collaboration) Let's celebrate the region’s progress as a tech hub: 🕘 + 🗓️: 9-11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 22 📍 Northwestern Mutual🔗 https://bit.ly/4ezYkXz
