Greater Portland Inc and the Technology Association of Oregon are pleased to once again invite public and private partners to collaborate at the Greater Portland Tech Challenge. Last year, we paired 18 agencies, governments, and problem-solving tech firms to explore technology solutions to regional and local challenges.

The Greater Portland Tech Challenge is an opportunity for problem solvers from the private and public sector to explore interesting, confounding and challenging problems that need different perspectives. A morning of challenge pitches from agencies leads to capacity counter pitches from tech firms. An afternoon of one-on-one consults between agencies and tech firms leads to demo/pilot project partnerships.
