TechPoint, a nonprofit, industry-led growth initiative for Indiana’s tech ecosystem, announced today that it will recognize the City of Bloomington with a prestigious Rising Tech City Award during the 22nd annual Mira Awards gala on Thursday, April 22. The Mira Awards celebrate the outstanding people, companies, and products in Indiana’s tech sector each year.
In recognizing Bloomington, Techpoint cites the city’s “thriving tech culture” that “grows from a deep partnership between The Mill, the Bloomington Economic Development Corporation, Indiana University, the City of Bloomington, and Regional Opportunity Initiatives,” among others. The presenter also commends the City’s establishment of the Trades District Certified Tech Park in 2005 and continued investment in its growth, even in the midst of the global pandemic and economic crisis. Since the dedication of the coworking/entrepreneurship nonprofit The Mill in a renovated furniture factory in 2018, the City has continued to promote the tech economy centered at the Trades District. The dynamic start-up and venture capital activity at the Mill (with its 255 individual members and 38 companies), the sale of the Kiln building--which will become a new office and commercial building--and the more recent application for federal funding to develop the Trades District Technology Center, are among additional factors Techpoint noted in Bloomington’s selection for the award.  For Breaking Down the Barriers this year, the Council for Community Accessibility is going to hold a virtual event about virtual events, specifically how to make them more accessible to everyone.

There will be lots of opportunities to talk to them and each other in breakout sessions.
