Microsoft and the Green Bay Packers football team launched a program called TitletownTech Oct. 19, which aims to drive economic growth and job creation in Wisconsin.
One of the program's major initiatives is the TitletownTech Accelerator, which will incubate and support companies focused on digital technology products and services. Selected startups and early-stage companies will participate in 18 weeks of mentorship and development projects, and may receive investment funding from the program's TitletownTech Venture Capital Fund.
Microsoft and the Green Bay Packers will commit $5 million each in funding to TitletownTech during the next five years. The two organizations will also collaborate on the design of the TitletownTech headquarters, which is slated to open next fall.
