TechSTL unveils "2024 Impact Roadmap" with new programs

In September of 2022, TechSTL released the 5x5 Blueprint which outlined our approach to making St. Louis the most diverse innovation hub in the country by 2027. In the Blueprint, five core goals we identified as critical markers for the Metro to become an emerging tech hub:

  • 2x the MSA Tech Workforce
  • Reach 50% diversity in Workforce
  • 5x the Tech Talent Pipeline
  • Support 500 New Tech Startups
  • Help launch a $20m Founders Fund

This week, the TechSTL team released their "2024 Impact Roadmap" which outlines what programs, events, and investments will be tackled over the next 12-months to works towards reaching those 5 goals. The Roadmap offers the community a glimpse at what new initiatives will be launched and how this work will contribute to our path of reaching tech hub status.

After nearly 2 years of research, development, and validation, the TechSTL mission is now clear as we serve the region through "supporting the health & diversity of the St. Louis tech talent pipeline." In addition, the community impact and economic development efforts fall under 6 focus areas:

  1. K-12 Tech Education
  2. Tech Talent Pipeline
  3. Small Business & Entrepreneurship
  4. Cluster Growth
  5. Digital Opportunity
  6. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

In addition to the clarified framework, the Impact Roadmap unveils the new lineup of targeted programs and events currently underdevelopment with partners across the region. Within the Roadmap, you'll find information about the Superhub Web Portal (6 currently under construction), the 2.0 Tech Job Board, STL TechWeek, and new programs like TechLAUNCH and Talent Jam.

Now with over 500 active members and hundreds of community partners, the TechSTL network is growing quickly. The team is also scaling rapidly, while actively fundraising to continue generating momentum for the St. Louis Metro. Memberships are also evolving to meet the needs of the region, with new perks dropping in 2024 around discounted 401K packages, Pooled Employer Plans (PEPs), and expanded RFP access. Memberships are available now for individual, organizations, and bulk staff packages.

The organization is running the annual Membership Discount with $150 on memberships from Black Friday to New Year's. You can find out more information about the Membership by visiting the website at https://techstl.com/join/
