Public Invited
Guest Speaker:
Drue Placette
Topic:
Need Traction for Your Inventions?
Drue Placette, is our speaker for September 2017 and will speak on how local inventors can communicate to their investors and ambassadors in order to build traction for their inventions. Drue will discuss how development of innovative devices are the focal point for software development and how cities that embrace the entrepreneurship of this technological hardware become leaders in the technology economy. Drue will detail how San Antonio inventors can leverage San Antonio’s prime position as an emerging IoT and tech device hub to develop and market new products for investment.
Manufacturing has been a core industry in San Antonio for more than a century, and our city has been the birthplace of significant technological innovation, including the personal computer, microprocessors and the camera phone. Today, with ample industrial space and innovative talent from inventors, San Antonio can – and should -- continue this legacy.
Drue is a solutions engineer and emerging technologist who has been named a Tech Titan and a 40 Under 40 Award winner by the San Antonio Business Journal. He began his career under Congressman Scott McInnis as a Congressional caseworker and information technology manager until joining the U.S. Marine Corps in 2001 as an electrical and combat engineer. For over a decade, he has served as a senior solutions engineer and chief technology officer for healthcare, fintech, and technology companies with multi-million dollars or more in revenue. Presently, he founded and runs an R&D lab, called DoLab, located in the heart of the tech ecosystem in downtown San Antonio, where he helps startups bring new products to market and provides local tech talent hands-on experience and training with emerging technologies.
