Despite all the amazing people, companies and community groups fueling Minnesota's tech scene, the workforce gap for technical skills continues to increase. We talk a lot about the exponential pace of technologies transforming our world, but we fail to apply this same thinking to our skills gap. It's time we make more noise in Minnesota, TOGETHER.
The three primary challenges we will address: 1) Preparing ALL Minnesota students for 'digital transformation'. 2) Re-enforcing Minnesota's identity as an innovative tech hub. 3) Resolving our growing workforce gap from within!
We hope you will join us to hear more about Minnesota's growing coalition around a MEGA-event 'The Great MN Tech 2Gether'. You saw what we accomplished for the NFL!, now come learn about the stage were going to build for MINNESOTA!
The Great MN Tech 2Gether is a growing coalition of Minnesota business, education and tech groups excited about creating a bigger stage for Minnesota. Partners include Minneanalytics, IoT Fuse, Genesys Works, Minnesota State IT Center of Excellence, Cade Savvy, Make IT MSP, DocMNtary and many more. Our lead evangelist, Tom Motzel has worked in the data and information management space for over 20 years and very active member of the Minnesota tech scene. He recently received Minne Inno's '50 On Fire' award for his work on this effort. More information and contact info at https://www.linkedin.com/in/tmotzel/
