The Tech-Prize Team just finished the inaugural Smart City, App Development Competition.  It was an outstanding success.  Participants came from 5 different countries.  The winners were from Ireland, India, Florida, Racine, and Kenosha.  Voting for the “Fan Favorite” winners came from 11 different countries and 13 states.  The entire process exceeds expectations for this first event.

The Tech-Prize process for 2021 will continue with the Tech-Shop and Biz-Shop educational series through the summer and then the first live event that will conclude with awards and celebration session on Saturday, September 18, on the Monument Square Main Stage, during Party on the pavement

The process is designed to be that Loud, Proud, Fun event, that is so exciting that people cannot look away.  We cannot tell you how excited we are with the opportunities in front of us.

We want to make sure we share a big “Thank You” for the sponsors and also to each of you for your commitment to our community.  By coming together, we can and will re-engineer our future.  This will happen through the excitement and involvement each of us personally generates as the process grows.

We look forward to seeing you at the kick-off.
