Additional Details
Living in Alaska isn't mandatory to join the Tech Deployment Track. However, the program aims to connect participating companies with valuable resources in Alaska, like funding, clients, advisors, and even future hires.
While non-US companies can participate, they might need to set up a US presence eventually. This could be necessary to qualify for investments or collaborate with specific partners.
