We are excited to announce our newest corporate sponsor, Milwaukee Tool!
Join us in welcoming them to our community at the Member Lunch on March 16th, 2022 that will by hosted by Milwaukee Tool.
"Chicago clearly has a great technology and innovation eco-system, which is what attracted us and led to us opening our new Engineering Design and Innovation Center in the Old Post office in late 2021. One of our biggest focuses was on finding a local partner who shared our mindset for disruptive innovation. We are excited to have partnered with mHUB and we look forward to engaging with the community of innovators they have brought together, beginning with our members lunch on March 16th."
