The Nashville Technology Council (NTC) broke ground on Techville today. Techville demonstrates Nashville’s breadth and depth in the technology industry by profiling the leading technology companies in the region. Techville is presented as a colorful map, an artist’s rendition of Middle Tennessee, which includes logos of technology companies and famous Music City landmarks located all over Middle Tennessee. Techville is available in a 2’x3’poster and online at Techville.us.
“As honorary Mayor of Techville, I decree April 24, 2009 as TechDay,” proclaimed Beth Chase, CEO C3 Consulting and current NTC Board of Directors Chair. “Today we are taking another step in positioning Nashville as a leading destination for technology companies.”
Like a real city, Techville has City Council members and Commissioners. 53 companies received special recognition as City Council members and Commissioners. In total, the printed map displays 158 technology companies and online there are over 327 technology companies represented.
The Techville.us website is a helpful tool to search for technology services by the companies featured on the map. On the website, viewers can scroll over the logos for company descriptions and key contact information. The user can click through to the company’s website.
The Techville map puts a face on Nashville’s technology industry. “The first time I saw it, I was amazed at the sheer number of companies that make up our technology community – as well as the breadth of services and products offered,” said Nicholas Holland, CEO of centre{source} and creator of the website. “When people think of Nashville, they often think of Music or Healthcare. After seeing the Techville map, one will appreciate the significance of the technology industry.”
The ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. Those in attendance include Carlyle Carroll from the Chamber, Chris Beck representing EDS and the Board of Directors for the Nashville Technology Council, and staff members – Chelsea Redden, Emily Armstrong, Kevin Bittorie, Sara Carter, J. Tod Fetherling, and Warren Burke.
The Techville map will be distributed via the Nashville Business Journal on April 24, 2009. To order a copy of the Techville Map or a Framed Copy of the Techville Map, please click here.
