About TKW

TKW has grown exponentially in less than two years and has hundreds of members across North America and abroad. They include Integrators, Contractors, Installers, Manufacturers, Suppliers and Distributors all working together to understand the key principles which lead the community.

Founded in 2021 by four leaders with over 75 years collective experience in the Technology sphere, TeKnowledge World Wide (TKW) exists to inspire collaboration and networking across tech trades while utilizing member passion and expertise to enact lasting change in local communities through impactful philanthropic work. 

 

While primarily an online community, TKW lives in the real world each and every day as members seek out one another to partner for projects, learn new skills, and share the unique challenges and joys that come with working in technology. Businesses with smaller footprints often find themselves working alongside larger, more established businesses in environments and tangential industries that, otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the opportunity to approach. Through such collaboration, our members have increased their presence and grown their individual businesses. This drive to build lasting relationships founded on mutual respect and communal opportunity is one of TKW’s guiding principles: #communityOVERcompetition

 

TKW partners with the very best manufacturers and distributers who share in our vision of growing together and creating a better, more robust community so that as we better ourselves, we can better our communities through philanthropy. In our first two years, members have donated over $175,000 in products and services to a community in the suburbs of Philadelphia that was struggling to provide a safe space for children and their families as they navigated financial and health hardships. A full wireless network, 32 security cameras, electronic card access and several miles of wiring were installed by dozens of members over the course of a week. Dubbed “TeksGiving,” we expect to expand this event into the many communities represented by our members every year.


We also hosted our first TekFest in South Carolina, bringing together 20 vendors and over 100 members for a weekend of live demonstrations, TekTalks given by industry veterans, and ample opportunity for discussion and professional development. Our community is changing the industry by living our mission statement every day: To bring like-minded Technology businesses and individuals together to share knowledge, teach each other by example, while making impactful changes in the community with philanthropy.
