Louisville may be known more for its fast horses and bourbon, but something new has been brewing in the Derby City. “This is a place that isn’t necessarily a traditional tech hub, but we really see there is a strong appetite and enthusiasm for digital skills and tech opportunities,” Jesse Haines, the director of Grow with Google said. “Our job is to make sure prosperity spreads throughout our city and to train people for the future,” Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said. “Listen, this is a city that’s moving,” Gov. Matt Bevin, R.-Kentucky, said. “This is a commonwealth, this is an area that is moving. There’s a lot that’s happening digitally and otherwise.” Grow with Google made its fourth stop on its nationwide tour in Louisville Thursday. The tech giant’s initiative aims to help people find job, grow their businesses and create economic opportunities by equipping people with tech skills needed in the 21st century.
