Cathy Lewis Long, founding executive director of The Sprout Fund in Pittsburgh, met with us at our Techonomy Detroit conference to talk about the Steel City and how it compares with the Motor City. Both places, she said, have a “spirit and legacy of innovation” and a special way of sneaking up on people. “[Detroit’s| so exciting and it’s that same ‘ah-ha!’ moment that people get when they come to Pittsburgh,” she said. Both cities, too, are heavily focused on reimagining their futures. “Detroit is at a palpable moment now to propel forward,” Lewis Long said.

Tech's Impact on Business and Society, techonomy.com
Today technology is inextricably entwined with just about every activity that humans undertake. Techonomy embraces that fact, and seeks as a company to help the world take advantage of it. We cast our lens broadly across business and society in order to highlight and explore the manifold ways in which tech’s impact is felt. Techonomy Media hosts conferences and dinners and publishes editorial content, including video journalism. We make our programs accessible to a wide audience because it is impossible to know where leaders will emerge, and because the world increasingly recognizes that, for better or worse, we are all in this together.
