Oakland Tech Collaboration has expanded its ranks to 30 companies, while burnishing the region’s reputation as a hub for innovation by hosting three new industry education events.
Starting as a group of five “Keystone” members, HTC Global, RGBSI, JR Innovation, OneStream, and FANUC America created Oakland Tech Collaboration to generate interest and lure talent to Oakland County in critical technology sectors.
The 25 new “Cornerstone” companies include: Adapt Technology, Atom Tech, Coretek, Cynerge, Dechen, EDSI, Enginuity, Expert Technologies Group, Galco Electronics, Global Automation Technologies, Global IT, Gresham Smith, Kinetyc, KPIT, Liberty Center One, Light Guide, One Team, Paslin, PCE Monarch, Red Level, SharpQuest, SolvIT, Sundberg Ferar, WIT Solutions, and Youngsoft.
These Cornerstone companies enhance the group’s presence in several areas, such as research, design, engineering, IT, computer services, robotics, and advanced automation integration. By pooling the group’s resources and expertise, OC Tech Collaboration aims to raise the region’s status as a leader in these areas, making it easier to attract investment as well as talented workers.
Part of that push begins with three events, starting Feb. 27 at 9 a.m. with the Edu2B event at Oakland University. The meeting looks to connect tech employers with higher education partners.
The next event is K2B on March 18 at 9 a.m. hosted by FANUC America at its Rochester Hills headquarters. It’s followed by another Edu2B meetup April 16 at 8:30 a.m. at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield. For more information, go to the OC Tech Collaboration website.
