"There wasn't anybody that I saw today that I wouldn't consider hiring."

PowerUpTech is thoughtfully designed to enhance the college internship experience, connecting students to Buffalo's tech community. Why? Because when interns do more than just work, they end up being better, and more engaged, employees.

Thank you to everyone who made 2024 PowerUpTech an enriching summer experience full of laughter and learning! And to those who spoke to us about this program: @nationalgrid, @universityatbuffalo, Aleron, @gallagherglobal, @lhtservices and @mandt_bank.

We are so excited to share this partnership between @ingrammicroinc @golisanoinstitute and @techbuffalo716

Employers nationally have spent years dropping degree requirements. Very few have built the replacement.

The agreement builds a local pathway for high-potential students who want a faster route to a great career in our innovation economy. by @techbuffalo716

That's a wrap on our second PowerUpTech Tech Design Challenge of the summer! Teams of interns worked on real-world problems from nonprofit partners @girlscoutswny @uwbec & @43northfoundation and pitched their solutions to a panel of judges.

A huge thank you to all our nonprofit partners, coaches, judges, employers, and (of course) interns! Buffalo's future is bright and the Tech Design Challenge shows exactly why. by @techbuffalo716

Over the last 2 days, we took 200+ interns from 65+ companies through @Ingrammicrousa new downtown office for our PowerUpTech Intern Foundations events.

Interns participated in AI workshops across Microsoft CoPilot, Google Gemini, and Claude and learned power skills on project management, collaboration in the workplace, and more.

A HUGE thank you to all our presenters and the Ingram team for opening their door to the emerging talent of our region, showing them the opportunity and momentum here in Buffalo. by @techbuffalo716

Last week we kicked off PowerUpTech 2026 and the energy in the room said it all.

This summer we'll take 240+ interns from 65+ employers through a bunch of high-impact events across the summer.

Students make the most of their summer, employers create a strong intern experience, and emerging talent sees more reasons to stay in Buffalo post-graduation.

This is just the start. More to come all summer long! by @techbuffalo716

We had a great time this weekend at AI Tech Jam! 🎉

Students from several district schools jumped into teams at the UB School of Management, rolled up their sleeves, and spent the weekend exploring what AI can do. With support from UB student mentors and after 9 million tokens used and a ton of vibe coding, these high schoolers built some incredible products.

And it wasn't just the students. Teachers got in on it too, digging into AI literacy and classroom applications, and leaving with ideas they can use right away.

Our work offers a glimpse into Buffalo's future, and with students like this it's certainly bright! by @techbuffalo716

Brain 🤝 Brawn

In the latest episode of The Series Buffalo Podcast, Steven Rossi breaks down why he relocated his company @worksportltd from Canada to Buffalo, and why hydroelectric power, logistics infrastructure, and a workforce that actually shows up made it an easy call.
