Microsoft and Black Tech Street Launch Greenwood Cyber + AI Lab in Tulsa
Microsoft and Black Tech
Street announce the opening of the Greenwood Cyber + AI Lab, a collaborative
technology hub focused on advancing artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and
autonomous systems innovation.
Located in the Greenwood
Entrepreneurship at Moton (GEM) building in Tulsa's historic Greenwood
district, the lab brings together startups, enterprises, researchers, and
public-sector organizations to develop and test next-generation AI technologies
The Greenwood Cyber + AI
Lab is part of the broader Greenwood AI Center of Excellence, an initiative
supported through the U.S. Economic Development Administration's Tech Hubs
program following Tulsa's designation in 2024 as a Federal Tech Hub for leadership
in autonomous systems.
Tulsa's Tech Hubs
coalition, led by Tulsa Innovation Labs, received $51 million in federal
funding to help establish the region as a national center for advanced autonomy
technologies, including drones, robotics, and intelligent mobility systems.
Within that investment, $10.6 million was allocated to the Greenwood AI Center
of Excellence, which anchors the artificial intelligence component of Tulsa's
Tech Hub strategy.
Designed and operated by
Black Tech Street in partnership with Microsoft and SeedAI, the Greenwood AI
Center of Excellence combines workforce development, education, and applied
technology innovation to help organizations and communities better understand,
adopt, and build with artificial intelligence technologies.
