NORTHSTATE TECH LAB
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Across the nation and here in North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad, entrepreneurs are driving future economic success and community vitality. They bring innovative ideas to the marketplace, provide new solutions to problems, and create new jobs that attract and retain talent. They infuse our region with their creative approach, passion and ideas.
That’s why, in 2018, NorthState and HQ Greensboro joined forces to create the NorthState Tech Lab—a six-week, no cost boot camp with a two-month resident membership at HQ Greensboro.
