See an article from the El Paso times describing a new partnership with Microsoft.
‘Our hope is that TechSpark will help communities and businesses work better together to address critical economic challenges at the local level,’ Brad Smith, Microsoft president and chief legal officer, who oversees the program, said in a statement.
‘We believe this model of a deep, long-term community partnership can help communities address their unique needs and create a future-ready workforce and be a catalyst for economic investment and opportunity for all Americans,’ he said.
El Paso and the five other areas will each have ‘a signature project which will be a major investment that we hope will help accelerate a community’s transformation,’ Smith said.
