The Pacific Northwest of the USA is not only home to countless microbreweries, but also many innovative companies originate from the region between California and Canada. Microsoft and Amazon, among others, are based in Washington State. The region around Portland in neighboring Oregon is called the "Silicon Forest" because of its high-tech industry.
The TechfestNW conference invites startups, investors, entrepreneurs and innovators to the liberal city of Portland on April 5 and 6. Invest in Bavaria and the FitTech Meetup Munich support Bavarian startups that want to visit the TFNW.
