Tech Central is where Kansas City’s tech ecosystem comes to life. Anchored by KC Digital Drive and the KC Tech Council, it’s a shared space built for connection, collaboration, and momentum. This is where ideas get real, where builders and leaders come together, and where tomorrow starts—right in the middle of what’s next.
The Regional University Research Collective (RURC) is a collective impact initiative led by KC Digital Drive that unites the Kansas City region’s research universities—KU, K-State, and UMKC—with civic, industry, and philanthropic partners to strengthen the region’s innovation economy.
