Details

Through initiatives that grow Kansas City’s presence as a digital leader, we are able to ameliorate equity barriers, increase opportunities for economic prosperity, and elevate the community as a key informant in the innovation process.

In 2011, Kansas City was named the nation’s first Google Fiber Community, thereby launching a period of extreme digital transformation.

Decrease socioeconomic differences in the utilization of new technologies. Lead the development of technology solutions for vexing public problems. Increase adoption of emerging technology
