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!

This two-hour program encourages tech innovators at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and in the greater Milwaukee area to connect and “cultivate” each other’s goals and vision for a more diverse tech ecosystem. 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.
