It is no secret that AI (artificial intelligence) is changing the ways companies across the nation do business. The use of machine learning to foster innovation and create efficient processes in the workplace continues to generate conversation among tech industry leaders, specifically within the Milwaukee region.

MKE Tech Hub Coalition, a nonprofit organization fostering tech talent in the Milwaukee region, understands AI’s pivotal role in business growth and innovation. The organization seeks to provide small and medium-sized manufacturers with the resources and processes necessary to implement AI into their business models. 7Rivers, a Milwaukee-based technology company, recently donated $50,000 to MKE Tech Hub Coalition in support of the coalition’s efforts. The $50,000 will enable MKE Tech Hub Coalition to host AI workshops beginning in July.

“It is only through our donors’ support that we are able to partner with leading AI experts to help our regional talent and businesses bolster their AI tech and data capabilities” said MKE Tech Hub Coalition CEO Kathy Henrich.

Not only are the donation’s immediate benefits visible through the coalition’s workshops, but the $50,000 donation is also a prime example of Milwaukee tech companies like 7Rivers that recognize the value of long-term investment into AI education and its impact on businesses in the Milwaukee region.

Paul Stillmank, 7Rivers CEO and Founder remarked, “Our partnership with MKE Tech Hub Coalition is a pivotal move to supercharge the region’s AI and data capabilities. We’re not just investing; we’re igniting the limitless potential of AI in this vibrant market, setting a path for dynamic growth and innovation,” said Paul Stillmank, 7Rivers CEO and founder.
