Tech Talks: How Pilots Can Drive Business and Innovation
Launched in August 2023, Tech Talks is a platform for Philadelphia’s tech community to connect, learn, and grow. Each event fosters collaboration and innovation through insightful discussions with tech professionals, entrepreneurs, and business leaders. Join us throughout the year to explore tools, knowledge, and networks essential for success in tech.
Dive into the heart of Philadelphia’s tech ecosystem with our next Tech Talks, organized by the City of Philadelphia Department of Commerce and hosted at the University of Pennsylvania with support from the Mack Institute for Innovation at Wharton, where we will explore the art of piloting from a city, corporate, and institutional lens.
From Promise to Pilot – How Pilots Can Drive Business and Innovation will highlight best practices, common pitfalls, and real-world insights from leaders and startups with hands-on experience. The goal is to create meaningful dialogue and connections for those on both sides of procurement and innovation. The evening will conclude with a networking mixer designed to connect innovators, institutions, and procurement leaders.
Whether you’re a technologist, startup founder, or investor, this Tech Talks offers a unique opportunity to understand where the industry stands, where it’s headed, and what it will take to stay ahead. Don’t miss this chance to network, learn, and prepare for the future of tech in Philadelphia!
