MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT PAUL (PRWEB) September 08, 2016 -- To showcase one of the nation’s fastest-growing communities for startups and technology to job seekers nationally, Twin Cities Startup Week is teaming up with globally recognized companies and GREATER MSP (Minneapolis Saint Paul Regional Economic Development Partnership) to sponsor free flights to the startup capital of the North for its third annual event from September 19-25.

Job seekers interested in joining thousands of participants at more than 50 unique events have the opportunity to apply today to the Twin Cities Startup Week fly-in program supported by companies such as Target, partnering with Techstars during Startup Week on its very first Demo Day at the new Minneapolis Retail Accelerator.

Anchored by 16 Fortune 500 companies with a history of global innovation and 41 tech firms on the Inc. 5000 list, the region is the hub of what Forbes named the country’s fastest growing state for tech jobs. The unique collaboration across those companies is on full display during the Startup Week.

At Minnesota Cup, the nation’s largest statewide startup competition, Fortune 500 companies like General Mills and UnitedHealth Group work along with the University of Minnesota to build the next generation of companies. At Minne*, a catalyst for the area’s tech startup ecosystem, Inc. 5000 firms such as Leadpages and Code 42 fuel a community-led effort to showcase the area’s leading tech talent and projects.

Along with a booming technology job market and community that features nearly 200 user groups at anchors like COCO, one of nine American members in the Google for Entrepreneurs network, MSP is widely recognized for its world-class quality of life. With more than 50,000 available jobs at MakeItMSP.org and housing costs 171% lower than San Francisco, Bloomberg recently named MSP as one of the few places “where you can get a job and afford a house.”

A nation-leading region in both volunteerism and civic engagement, Twin Cities Startup Week will feature many of the region’s leading civic technologists. With the #1 and #2 ranked parks systems in the country and recent accolades as a top region for everything from biking to the arts, the week will show why MSP is tops among the nation’s top metros at retaining professional workers.

Largely open-sourced and driven by volunteers, the Startup Week will feature over 50 events consisting of collaborative discussions, startup demos, happy hours, workshops and a documentary screening on Minnesota’s technology history and future sponsored by major area employers. To learn more, please visit http://www.twincitiesstartupweek.com or click here to apply for a free flight.
