MAKE IT MARQUETTE In The Community
The Make it Marquette team, including members from Innovate Marquette, Siren Strategy, and Stone Hearth Consulting have been working with Marquette area residents to grow a coalition of community members to be champions of Make it Marquette.
Make it Marquette is an initiative of Innovate Marquette with a purpose to attract and retain talent to contribute to a strong entrepreneurial tech ecosystem and vibrant economy for all. Marquette Champions have completed a 4-hour Champion Session, gaining resources and tools to aid in creating a more vibrant, innovative, and inclusive Marquette.
