ReThink
Austin
2021
Integrating partnerships across technology, entrepreneurship, community impact, and DEI.
Presented by the Austin Urban Technology Movement (AUTM) & Harlem Labs
The Problem
Austin, TX is home to one of the largest racial wealth divides in America. With gentrification expanding and a technology skills gap widening, ReThink Austin “re-thinks” the trajectory of the city; preventing the further divide between the educated and uneducated, the experienced and inexperienced, and the have and have-nots.
In 2020, the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) exacerbated the inequities across Central Texas and highlighted the importance of an equitable solution.
The Solution
Cultivate a fluent community of diverse individuals solving societal barriers.
Connect organizations from various industries to share expertise, initiatives, and resources that support entrepreneurship, technology, DEI, and community impact.
Curate an environment of knowledge-sharing by facilitating impactful panel conversations, fireside chats, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities.
