The Office of Mayor Michael A. Nutter hosts a conversation about the importance of diversity in the technology development sector. As the demographics of tech consumers changes, the economy will be dependent on corporate America learning how to develop content and products targeted at the new majority. Therefore, there is a void for technology as it relates to minority creators. The economy needs diverse influencers in age and race in the technology field to provide innovative content similar to the influence on music, sports, movies, and other fields.
What steps do we take in Philadelphia to:
- Provide a business friendly environment for tech employers;
- Offer multi-generational technology education and training for minority and disadvantaged youth interested in a tech career;
- And recognize and foster minority tech contributions;
