More and more, the Midwest is becoming recognized as a technological and entrepreneurial leader. In Kansas City, tech-related jobs are in high growth, and with such a great network of support for entrepreneurs provided by SparkLabKC, Dream Big America, Pipeline and Silicon Prairie, I can’t wait to see what the future brings.”
