Welcome to the first-ever Delaware Innovation Week

Today is the first day of #DIW15.

Back in the summer of 2014 when we launched Technical.ly Delaware, we knew we were laying the groundwork for this.

Sure, daily news coverage of the First State’s innovation ecosystem is validating and important, but there’s nothing quite like a big event series to confirm that your work is having an impact.
It goes like this: You convene all the entrepreneurs and technologists and civic leaders and investors; you learn new things and try new techniques and forge new connections; and you see — days down the line, weeks, months — the innovative projects that emerge from one week under a giant figurative tent. Delaware Innovation Week is a gathering of possibilities.
As an editor, it’s amazing to see a news site — a collection of updates about Delawareans doing amazing things (you, really) — come to life.
We do this every April in Philly, every September in Baltimore and now, with this inaugural effort in Delaware, we get to see things grow anew all over again.
As you use this magazine to navigate the week’s 20+ events, keep in mind that it may be your next project, startup or investment that we at Technical.ly Delaware end up covering. Keep in mind that the possibilities here are yours for the taking.
Sincerely,
Zack Seward, Editor-in-Chief, and the entire Technical.ly Delaware team
