I am pleased to report that the Town of Morrisville will be home to an Innovation Center. The new owners of the Airport Mall have agreed to my plans to have a 3000 square foot Innovation Center, a place where entrepreneurs and start up companies, who graduate from our Hottovation program can move to and continue to grow their companies in Morrisville.
In addition, plans are under way to also locate the global Open Data Institute, the first of its kind, in North Carolina, a center where open data training will be offered, data sets will be provided to local entrepreneurs, and innovation of ideas, apps, and citizen engagement will at an all time high.
Please stay tuned over the next few months for further announcements, regarding these developments.
