With the aim of spurring growth in Illinois' tech sector, Governor Bruce Rauner has created the Innovate Illinois Advisory Council.
A group of business leaders will hopefully bring new ideas to the table to help improve the climate for technology business growth in the state.
Co-chairs for the council are Laura Frerichs, director of the University of Illinois research park and Mark Glennon, a managing director of the consulting firm Ninth Street Advisors.
The panel is to begin meeting this spring.
