⭐️Yesterday was a seismic step forward for #Tulsa and Northeast #Oklahoma. The U.S. Economic Development Administration awarded just over 51 million dollars to Tulsa for the #TechHubs designation. These dollars will be used to better innovate and #futureproof our economy while also propelling forward our workforce needs in Trustworthy Autonomous Systems #THETA. This colalition was spearheaded by Jennifer H. and the team at Tulsa Innovation Labs. They worked in concert with a multitude of partners such as: Tulsa Regional Chamber, Black Tech Street, Tulsa Community College, Oklahoma State University, PartnerTulsa, Atlas School, Osage, LLC, Skyway36, Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST), Tulsa Tech, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Manufacturing Alliance, Madison Strategies Group, 36 Degrees North, Atento Capital, Build in Tulsa, and Cherokee Federal, Tulsa Higher Education Consortium, just to name a few. All of these partners, plus many more, came together to help make #Tulsa a global leader in autonomous systems and skill our workforce to meet the demands of the future economy.💻🚀🦾 #AAM #TechHubs #Workforcedevelooment #Economicimpact #THETA #Futureofwork #Autonomoussystems #Gamechanger #Partnershipsmatter #Technologyinnovation 💡Check out the THETA website below for full details and a complete partner list-👇 https://lnkd.in/gS7BryvE Tulsa Awarded $51 Million For Technology Innovation https://lnkd.in/gGPsTAdC

Building resilience by being prepared. I am fascinated by how certain eco-systems, organisations and enterprises build resilience to deal with change, shocks and disturbances, and at the very same time continue to develop in their new environment. This becomes even more interesting in a fast-changing world underpinned with new technology. My own 20-year story in the scouting movement made me remember a timeless phrase. I have it somewhere. Ah here, I found and picked out a book from my physical bookshelf, that I have not read for many years. It was originally published in 1908 and I have in my ownership the 35th edition. The book is written by Robert Baden-Powell of Gilwell (1857-1941). B.P. was a British military and founder of Scouting as we know it today. Fun fact: We have 57 million young people today engaged in scouting across the globe. In Camp fire yarn No. 3, the third chapter I found it. The scout motto: "Be prepared". It emphasizes the importance of readiness in both mind and body to tackle any situation that comes our way. Be prepared in Mind, having thought out beforehand any accident or situation that might occur, so that you know the right thing to do at the right moment and, are willing to do it. Be prepared in Body by making yourself strong and active and able to do the right thing at the right moment and do it. A mix of willingness and capability does all the difference. This wisdom was true in the analogue world over a century ago and still rings true for tech professionals today. Let's embody the scout motto this summer and beyond - ready for whatever comes our way. Be prepared! #resilience #beprepared #praeparatussupervivet #innovation #digital

🌊 For this week’s Innovation to Market project showcase, Build sets to highlight Unisell, a conceptual university-based app specializing in second-hand deals for university students across the United States to meet the needs of university life. It is the future where college students can easily buy and sell their unwanted belongings without having to experience difficulties. ♻️Through their app, Unisell is able to address the issues of high priced brand new goods and reducing waste! Unisell seeks to make the process of seeking face-to-face transactions as easy as possible for college students through email verifications, a product matching algorithm, location, and more in order to ensure safety, authenticity and security. Colleges and universities generate 18.3% of total E-waste globally, and through Unisell, they plan to do their part in making the world greener. Check out their project here to learn more about their initiatives!   https://lnkd.in/gydr_24z 🚀 Tune in next week to see how a group in the other cohort from Unisell aims to relieve the stresses of moving for all incoming and exiting college students through Raccoon!

Fantastic article written by one of Freeform’s main investors, Scott Nolan of Founders Fund, sharing first-hand insight into how SpaceX laid seed for El Segundo to become the nation’s hotbed for hard-tech innovation.   Although we're now just down the street from El Segundo in Hawthorne, Freeform is imbued with the same spirit of disruption and unwavering conviction in doing the previously-thought-impossible, led by a founding team that was an integral part of SpaceX’s early days.   At Freeform, we look for folks who are undaunted by doing something for the first time. Those whose eyes light-up when faced with a challenge. People who know they can’t do it alone and seek the camaraderie of a tight-knit team to make it happen.   If you want to do hard things with smart people that will have a meaningful impact on the world (and have some fun along the way), this is the place to be. We are hiring across nearly every engineering discipline from software to hardware to materials and process – check out our listings below and come change the world with us. https://lnkd.in/gNjdjN8p
