About

KC Digital Drive is the only non-profit organization chartered to drive positive civic outcomes from next-generation technology networks. We work closely with local city governments and economic development organizations, educators, healthcare professionals, artists, makers, entrepreneurs and other civic partners looking to make the most of Kansas City’s technology infrastructure.

Three years ago when Google Fiber announced it would launch its gigabit fiber-to-the-home product in Kansas City, civic leaders and community organizers began discussing what we could do with this powerful technology.

This grassroots-meets-city-hall effort led to the creation of a playbook to guide how KC would use technology to drive economic development, digital inclusion, next-generation applications and smart city leadership.

KC Digital Drive was created to deliver on the playbook. Now we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit with the mission of finding technology solutions for social and civic problems. We hope you’ll help us craft a playbook for your city or metro’s technology future.
