From the smallest to the largest of communities, technology is disrupting and changing traditional industries, creating new prospects for job creation. Is your community ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities new technologies are bringing to your industrial base? As these businesses look to grow, the makers of innovative new technologies are demanding tech workforce skills, infrastructure and support services.
