10 weeks of TENWEST is all about INNOVATION this week… and giving away some passes!
When you take a step back, Tucson / Arizona / The Sonoran Desert is one of the most innovative places on Earth... Not only because it is the most bio-diverse and longest inhabited piece of the United States, a (beautiful) resilient and adaptive sub tropic-turned-desert eco-system, evolving (or devolving) in front of your eyes daily… BUT also because we are home to some of the most forward-thinking farmers and agriculture research projects, high level problem solvers, space exploration research and startups, E/V Battery and Semiconductor manufacturing, military, border, and mining technologies… Quite simply put, all the craziest sh*t in the world is right here, in your own backyard.
All of this and more is why TENWEST has dedicated an entire day of our conference to INNOVATION and the Arizona leaders who want to discuss our collective future. Some of it might be exciting, some of it might be terrifying, but together, we will foster productive conversations that can really make an IMPACT on the place we (and many others relocating) call home.
Dive into our INNOVATION conference day teasers below, featuring visiting keynote presenter and Forbes contributor Shalin Jyotishi, and our TENWEST mentorship program made possible in partnership with our incredible presenting sponsors, Pima Community College and their Small Business Development Center.
