The Grand Strand Technology Council brings together technology partners from business and industry, government and education to assist in shaping this region's growth and prosperity in all areas of technology. This will be accomplished through a variety of means, including, but not limited to, presentations made by members and other companies, governmental bodies or educational institutions, educational opportunities, site visits and tours of technology companies or divisions, and technical business plan and other competitions at the high school and college level to foster technology growth and interest.
Technology-based businesses tend to "cluster" with similar type businesses in geographic regions. In fact, technology professionals as individuals also seem to want to interact directly with other similarly trained persons to gain additional knowledge, ideas and develop potential enhancing partnerships. This Council provides that nucleus of growing and involved technology professionals and businesses.
The Grand Strand — principally Horry and Georgetown Counties of South Carolina — provide a strong infrastructure to support technology-driven businesses combined with a growing economy. Our economy must be able to reach across the world through good schools, technical college, growing university, great weather, golf and recreation, excellent housing, and "the Beach".
On February 11, 2010, the Tech Council presents the Grand Strand Technology Expo, a gathering of dozens of private companies, public entities and higher education to highlight technology offerings along the Grand Strand. Booth space is limited. Attendance is FREE. For details, click the banner.
