We’re Partnering Up!

We are excited to announce a pioneering partnership that aligns perfectly with our vision at Savage Servers. As a company at the forefront of digital marketing, we consistently seek opportunities to apply our expertise for the greater good. Our new collaboration with the newly formed Digital Bridge Alliance (DBA) represents a significant step forward in these efforts.

Background on The Digital Bridge Alliance

As a freshly established entity, the Digital Bridge Alliance is poised to make a substantial impact in the realm of digital literacy and access. The DBA’s mission is to provide communities, especially those underserved, with the skills and tools needed to thrive in a digital-centric world. By focusing on education, access to technology, and fostering innovation, the DBA aims to bridge the digital divide that persists in urban and rural communities alike.

The Innovation Warehouse, spearheaded by the DBA in partnership with Savage Servers, is set to be a cornerstone of this mission. The project will transform an unused industrial space into a dynamic center where technology meets community empowerment. This initiative not only aims to enhance local economic development but also to create educational opportunities and stimulate job creation in tech-driven fields.

Announcing The Innovation Warehouse Initiative

We are proud to introduce The Innovation Warehouse, a flagship initiative under the Digital Bridge Alliance, designed to transform a neglected warehouse in Chicago into a leading innovation hub. This facility aims to embody the spirit of technological progress and community engagement, setting a precedent for similar developments across the Midwest.

Vision and Mission of The Innovation Warehouse

  • Vision: The Innovation Warehouse seeks to become a beacon of innovation in the Midwest, renowned for its contributions to technology development, entrepreneurship, and community enrichment.
  • Mission: Our mission is to cultivate a supportive ecosystem for startups, entrepreneurs, and community members. We aim to facilitate access to vital resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities that catalyze innovation and propel societal progress.

Market Opportunity and Community Impact

Located strategically in Chicago, The Innovation Warehouse is poised to tap into the city’s rich industrial history and its untapped potential. By repurposing one of its vacant warehouses, this initiative will not only revitalize the local area but also attract talent and startups from surrounding regions, stimulating local economic development and creating educational and employment opportunities.

  • Sustainable Growth: The Innovation Warehouse is committed to establishing a financially sustainable model through memberships, sponsorships, and strategic partnerships. This approach ensures the long-term viability and expansion of the initiative, making it a lasting pillar of the community.

The Innovation Warehouse is not just a physical space but a movement towards building a more inclusive and innovative future. By integrating advanced technology with community needs, we aim to create a hub that not only fosters creativity and collaboration but also serves as a model for other cities to follow. Through this initiative, the Digital Bridge Alliance and Savage Servers aim to demonstrate the power of technology to transform lives and communities for the better.

  • Grants and Public Funding: We will apply for grants focused on technology, economic development, and community empowerment. These funds are crucial for covering renovation costs, technology procurement, and operational expenses in the initial stages.
  • Corporate Sponsorships and Partnerships: We are actively seeking partnerships with local businesses and major corporations interested in investing in innovation and community development. These partnerships will provide both financial backing and in-kind contributions, crucial for the project’s long-term success.
