That’s a wrap on the 2024 Tech Nebraska Summit!

A huge thank you to our incredible speakers, generous sponsors, and everyone who came out to be part of this amazing community.? Until next year! ?

Loving the talk about innovation at Tech Nebraska today and how we poise ourselves to be an innovation hub. One of my favorite points: Innovation is intentional. For our community: it’s an economic decision for the leaders of our community to come together and create a clear strategy and commitment to act, so we are even better positioned for innovation in the future. For companies: innovation is not just the delivery of a series of projects, it’s a cultural and operational shift to become innovative.
