The People of TechSpring

TechSpring was never really about the building. It was about the clinicians, engineers, founders, and staff who showed up to solve real problems together. This wall is a start, not a finish.

This wall is incomplete on purpose. Only the people who happened to be named in press coverage or public records appear below with details — that's a small fraction of who was actually part of TechSpring. Fellows, coordinators, partner-company staff, and quieter contributors who made the place run aren't here yet. If that's you, or someone you worked with, add them.

At the opening — November 2014

State, city, and industry figures who took part in TechSpring's launch. Their presence marked how seriously the region treated this as an economic development story, not just a hospital project.

Everyone else

The fellows, coordinators, engineers, clinical champions, and partner-company teams who made TechSpring what it actually was day to day. This section is empty because they weren't in the press — not because they didn't matter.
