taoWe’re excited to host two networking events leading up to a summit called Portland State of Mind: Powering the Region’s Tech Economy this week.  Portland State of Mind, a joint summit between Portland State University and the Technology Association of Oregon, will focus on the needs of the Oregon tech industry and PSU’s role in supporting those needs, including research and development, workforce training, and economic development.

On Thursday, October 24th we’ll be hosting a pre-event networking happy hour for the Portland tech community. This happy hour will serve as the meet and greet event leading up to Friday, October 25th’s executive discussion of the needs of the tech sector, and how PSU can best support them.  Stephen Fleming, Vice President at Georgia Tech’s Enterprise Innovation Institute, will keynote this event and share lessons that can be learned from a national model of successful industry-university partnerships.

This Friday morning event is free to attend but registration is required.
