Proactively Growing the St. Louis Tech Ecosystem
We Back the Builders so they can Build What’s Next
TechSTL is the St. Louis metro’s tech council, focused on proactively growing the St. Louis tech ecosystem. Launched in 2022 under the leadership of the St. Louis Development Corporation with support from a U.S. Economic Development Administration grant, TechSTL is now a fully independent 501(c)(6) membership nonprofit organization. Guided by CEO insight, our North Star centers on accelerating access to customers and capital for mid-market technology companies—elevating the region’s next-market operators and strengthening St. Louis’s position in an AI-powered global economy.
