Milwaukee Startup Week – Cultivating a Diverse Tech Ecosystem: UWM and Beyond

Join us in the LEC Atrium for the kick off of Milwaukee Startup Week where we will be discussing cultivating the diverse tech ecosystem of UWM and beyond!

We combine budding entrepreneurs at UWM with thriving, driven STEM professionals and tech gurus to champion a growth mindset and learn best practices for branching out into the tech ecosystem here in Milwaukee.
