It hasn’t been that long since efforts to supplement Traverse City’s deep roots in agriculture, tourism and regional services with technology companies began in earnest. But it’s blossomed into a relatively tight-knit community of entrepreneurs and companies that are doing big things in the region.

Our sister publication the Traverse City Business News spoke with local leaders and entrepreneurs in the tech space to find out about what it’s like doing business in Traverse City, what trends they’re keeping an eye on and what’s likely to impact businesses and individuals in the coming years.

These disruptors speak about artificial intelligence (AI), remote work, automation and much more in the January issue, which is on newsstands now.

This first issue of the new year also includes two of our most popular yearly features: What to Watch, which takes a look at people, issues and places sure to make news in 2024, and our Traverse City Business Legends Hall of Fame, now in its 11th year.

In addition, this packed issue features columns from several local experts, a deep-dive into STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathmatics) efforts in the area, a look at plans to boost and expand high-speed internet access in the area and much more.
