We are dedicated to growing the local tech community by operating at the grass roots level helping people to learn, share, collaborate, and make credible connections. We believe to build a strong technology ecosystem people must be educated on new and emerging technology, develop new products, start new businesses, and become resources for one another. TechNova produces events to aid in achieving this mission such as BarCamp Tampa Bay, Ignite! Tampa Bay, and “Day of” technology workshops, web and technology meetups in addition to sponsoring and supporting other endeavors that share its values and vision. Technova Florida, Inc. is a non profit organization based in Tampa, Florida.
