TechPort originally began as a volunteer led CoWorking & Business Accelerator to spur entrepreneurial development in St. Clair County. Successfully achieving this goal with an entrepreneur led CoWorking center (Loft 912) open; and a new countywide incubator (The Underground) opening in April, 2017, - TechPort will no longer operate as a physical location. Instead, its volunteers will serve as a committee to the Underground and to other entrepreneurial initiatives in St. Clair County to continue to advance our entrepreneurial climate.
TechPort and sponsors donated over $20.000 over the past few years, hosted multiple business competitions, and helped to attract the 2016 Connecting Entrepreneurial Conference to the region.
