Tech Tour: How Charlottesville Builds its Next Generation Tech Workforce and Innovators! 

2016 Tour Date: October 11 

You likely already know that 
CBIC's Annual Tech Tour is a day-long event that introduces students to our region's technology companies, but did you know that: 
  • The tour is nearly 100% volunteer driven? 
  • More than 70 technology related companies and organizations are toured in a single day?
  • $35,000 in scholarships have been issued as part of the Tech Tour to local students?
  • It's the only program of its kind designed to help youth envision themselves as technology innovators right here in Charlottesville?  


Sponsors directly underwrite this annual event, scholarships, and CBIC's year-long STEM-(science, tech, engineering and math) related advocacy work. I cannot underscore enough how vital this work is to growing a sustainable tech community, and I hope we can count on your support. 

Best,

Tracey Greene
CBIC Executive Director
