I wanted to add a second comment to help educate some folks, and hopefully give some insight into the longer term strategy.  Right now, a focus on software is a way to get started.  Why?  Because it is capital efficient to start software companies.  Small inputs of labor, consuming very little resource, can have a large impact.  Because they are cheap to start, we can get a lot of 'bang for the buck'.   Other companies is high tech manufacturing, food and beverage, and biotech have greater needs.  Many of the needs are infrastructure based.   We are also working on these components, but these take longer as the capital needs for these industries is greater.  This does not mean it won't happen, it just means it will take longer to align the resources to make it happen

The 'fanfare' is about education and getting the community to realize that in order for us to fuel our economy, we need to invest in things that will allow it to grow, and ensure the resources are here to support them.
