Watch #ABQ Become the Silicon Valley of the Southwest!


Albuquerque ain’t exactly Silicon Valley, but we’re getting there! With lots of great scientific projects going on and one of the best science and natural history museums in the Southwest, our city is slowly becoming a great place for people in the technology industry to make their careers.

From September 7 to September 15, the Albuquerque Tech Fiesta will gather around technology professionals from around the state to discuss startups, new developments in the field, and more. According to the event’s director of operations, Maralyn Beck, the Albuquerque Tech Fiesta aims to bring together the industries of the future and those that historically made Albuquerque what it is today: “This was all started by the New Mexico Technology Council trying to bring together the tech community and trying to marry the Sandia labs, technical and businesses communities. It’s all of these communities that are siloed in what they’re doing.”


The event will feature 21 expert panels, keynote addresses, the Sandia Science and Technology Showcase, TedEx, and more. In addition to the New Mexico Technology Council, the week is also sponsored by the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque Business First, StartUp New Mexico, and many more.
