KC DIGITAL DRIVE

We focus on technology infrastructure - the foundation of hardware, tools, and software needed to function in the digital world; data - machine-readable information about the infrastructure, environment, and the people that use it; meaningful use cases - how the tech and the data are used to make the world a better place (often trials, pilots, or test cases); new businesses, products and services - how to make these uses sustainable and widespread, with economic development benefits to boot; equity and inclusion - the intentional process, thoughtfulness, vision, and leadership to ensure new tech is people-focused and sensitive to our most vulnerable; and tech literacy - the sufficient education from regular citizens to civic leaders to support workforce needs, democratic governance, and good decision-making.

In pursuit of these goals, we have developed a diverse portfolio of programs under our three strategic pillars: 1) Solutions Lab, 2) Community Building, and 3) Project Delivery.
