TLDR: Frisco's innovators have defined what makes the region unique and developed challenge statements to drive innovation. Come meet these visionaries and be part of our innovation journey.
Frisco, TX is known as Sports City USA, but what does that really mean for innovation? Recently, we gathered a group of highly engaged stakeholders from across Frisco's innovation economy at the PGA of America HQ to explore this question and more. In partnership with Stadia Ventures and the Frisco Economic Development Corporation, we set out to understand how innovation flows through the region and where it faces obstacles.
Our approach prioritizes human connection over equity transactions (though we love those too!). We brought together top-level stakeholders to discuss problem statements in an open, safe environment. From these discussions and thousands of data points, we determined Frisco's "Locus of Relevancy" - what makes the region unique and how specific technologies and business models can accelerate their development here better than anywhere else in the world.
The outcome? We've defined shared challenge statements that our stakeholders can rally around - challenges that resonate with everyone. At the end of October (date coming soon), we're inviting the global innovation community to present their tech solutions. For each challenge, we're seeking a mix of researchers, startups with emerging tech, and organizations working with mature technologies.
Curious about the challenges? Check out the link in the post below or keep an eye on my future posts where we'll talk more in depth about each one and what's next.
