Exciting emerging technology innovations from local companies
DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) -The Midwest has become an attractive area for business startups to plant their roots and bloom.
Large tech companies as well have taken note — with Facebook, Apple and Google constructing and operating data centers across Iowa — creating a so-called “Silicon Prairie” primed for a new generation of startups. And here in the Quad-Cities, local companies are innovating and utilizing new, emerging technologies – from virtual reality to machine learning and beyond – and bringing tech jobs to the Heartland.
What are these emerging technologies? How are local companies utilizing these technologies to drive innovation and bring tech jobs to area? What types of education or career certification programs are available? And is the Quad-Cities becoming an under-the-radar hub for innovation? All this is and more leads the discussion on this week’s edition of Insight TV.
