Penn State’s fifth annual IST Startup Week kicks off today and it’s bigger than ever.

Hosted by the College of Information Sciences and Technology, Silicon Valley meets Happy Valley in a week chock-full of notable speakers, workshops, networking events, and think tanks. The week’s goal is to celebrate technology and security entrepreneurs and innovators while learning a thing or two in the process.
