GRAND RAPIDS TAKEOVER
July 25th 2026
BTS Grand Rapids brought founders, innovators, and ecosystem builders together at Bamboo's 4th-floor gallery on July 25, connecting communities from East to West Michigan.
In partnership with Start Garden, Midwest Tech Project, and Opnr, Black Tech Saturdays officially introduced its growing community to Grand Rapids with an afternoon centered on meaningful connections, collaboration, and ecosystem building.
Founders, creatives, technologists, small business owners, and community leaders came together to exchange ideas, build relationships, and strengthen connections across Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, the Lakeshore, and Traverse City. The event served as a milestone leading into Black Tech Saturdays' expanded presence during Grand Rapids Tech Week later this year.
