We Energize the Region

We act as an amplifier and activator for our region’s tech ecosystem. We identify high-leverage opportunities, convene the right players, and help members translate strategic needs into transformational impact.

Our Mission

The MKE Tech Hub Coalition is a non-profit organization that works to drive catalytic change, resulting in a vibrant tech ecosystem where tech and innovation create enduring regional prosperity.

We foster a vibrant tech ecosystem and enduring economic prosperity through three key strategies.
