Happy May!
SWFL Tech continues to focus on uniting and promoting the tech ecosystem throughout Southwest Florida. One way we do this is by partnering with other organizations doing amazing mission-aligned work throughout the region.
- This past March, we partnered with CareerSource Southwest Florida to hold the Annual Regional TechMatch Event to help current and future technologists find a place where they belong in SWFL. Thank you to all of the employers and meetup groups who spent their evening with us!
- In April, we celebrated the winners of the AI+HI Challenge (sponsored, in part, by the Edison Awards). SWFL Tech was honored to be part of the judging panel for this year’s competition.
- On May 13th, we are holding our first mixer of 2025 in partnership with Swamp Cat Brewing (now open!). Come and join us for a beer. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for future mixers (8/12/25, 11/18/25).
- In June, the Lee County EDO will be hosting a “Tech Leadership Forum” with the objective of informing economic development priorities and the priorities of SWFL Tech (operating as a non-profit regional tech council).
- Over the summer, SWFL Tech will be helping to select the finalists for the Horizon Council “Tech” Industry Awards. Applications/Nominations open later this month!
