About Tech-Prize Competition and Process.
Tech-Prize is a competition and process, hosted in Racine, WI, designed to create innovative ideas, develop a process to launch those ideas in our community, and establish the skills required to enable results. This is done through a combination of competitions and educational workshops. The outcome of this process will be re-establishing the Racine community as “Invention City.” This will result in even more people happy to live, work and play right here in southeast Wisconsin.
