The Mission of TECH Fort Worth
TECH Fort Worth will encourage the development of the technology business community in Fort Worth by helping entrepreneurs commercialize innovative technologies.
Goals of the Organization
Giving New Companies Solid Roots
Activities for the future will focus on continuing to attract the desired target clients for our programs and relentlessly pushing them toward financial stability. We will make use of local expertise and resources and do what we can to foster angel investment groups in the region. We will continue to upgrade our current facilities to best serve our clients and access other facilities that will fulfill the needs of future clients.
Creating an Environment for Technology-Based Entrepreneurship
The TECH Fort Worth IMPACT Awards are a centerpiece for this strategy; we intend to grow and improve it each year, involving as many people in the community as possible – as volunteers, sponsors, judges, attendees or applicants. We will continue to build our relationships with the local research institutions – UNTHSC, UNT, and UTA – as well as with TCU’s Neeley School of Business, and reach out to include UNT’s Murphy Enterprise Center and Texas Wesleyan’s Law School. In addition, we will continue to build on and increase other activities in the Metroplex related to entrepreneurial efforts.
Building our Reputation
The focus here will be to publicize the success of our clients and our role in the economic development of the area. We will also continue to apply for awards, locally and nationally, that allow us to gain recognition for our efforts and reach more of our target population.
Achieving Sustainability
We will continue to build our relationships with the City of Fort Worth and the local research institutions, while expanding the base of long-term sustainable funding with others for whom TECH Fort Worth’s success will be important. Board membership will evolve in the diversity of the backgrounds of the involved companies, to reflect the industries and populations of the clients we intend to serve. The IMPACT Awards event will be the primary sponsorship opportunity, used to attract a broader corporate involvement in the financial wellbeing of the organization.
