The past: Minnesota’s tech ecosystem has provided the world with a multitude of technological innovations and new ideas. This same ecosystem has provided hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans with high paying jobs in a sector with consistently low unemployment.
The challenge: Minnesota’s tech ecosystem is at risk due to a pressing lack of homegrown skilled technologists and costly lack of technologist diversity.
The response: The Minnesota Technology Foundation leads the collective push to equitably inspire and grow technology talent in Minnesota.
The future: We envision a future where Minnesota is a national leader in the equitable inspiration and development of technologists, bringing prosperity to our state and our communities.
