[Not a valid template]Technology Forum of Delaware is taking an in-depth look at the state of technology in Delaware.
It was the second “Technology Where Do We Go From Here” held by the forum.
The kick-off of the assessment was held in conjunction with Delaware Innovation Week, an event that highlights technology in the state.
The process was kicked off at the forum’s monthly meeting-networking event at World Cafe Live at the Queen Theatre with a rapid-fire 59-question assessment. Responses came via from a show of hands, group discussions and text true or false text messages.Preliminary results indicated that the technology community has made progress over the past year, but still faces a variety of challenges.
Preliminary results indicated that the tech community has made progress over the past year, but still faces a variety of shortcomings that include a lack of amenities to attract and retain staff, sluggish conditions in some industries, a lack of access to capital and a negative perception of the area – often from residents.
George Rotsch, Tech Forum board member, said the next step would be sending out the assessment members of the technology community. A final report will be compiled next year.
