Onshoring IT,
Expanding Opportunity
Xchange is dedicated to reshaping Chicago’s tech economy by connecting local talent with meaningful opportunities. Together, we can harness the power of technology to create careers and foster economic growth for all.
WHY SDI PRESENCE
Chicagoland companies spend $16B annually on tech and IT services
Despite this significant investment, much of it does not stay in the local economy. That means fewer family-sustaining careers, an undertrained workforce, and missed opportunities to create global technology expertise right here in Chicago.
