Bellingham Waterfront Innovation Zone - A sneak preview!
Join us on June 19 to learn more about the new focal point for innovation in the local economy. A new innovation center on the waterfront is scheduled to open in September. We have invited representatives from the Port of Bellingham, Western Washington University and Bellingham Technical College for an informal panel discussion around this new public-private partnership whose goal is to foster the development of emerging technologies, new companies and jobs.
The Bellingham Waterfront District has been chosen as one of 11 state Innovation Partnership Zones, and was one of just five to receive $1 million to jump-start development activities. The goal of the IPZ is to create lab-to-market economic development programs that will become globally recognized as hubs of expertise, innovation and commercialization. A section of the former Georgia-Pacific tissue warehouse is being turned into a specialized research, development and training area for the IPZ and is expected to be completed in July.
WWU's representative will talk about the Engineering Technology project with Bellingham's All American Marine, developing a lightweight hydrofoil for future passenger ferry use. And a representative from Bellingham Technical College, another educational partner of the center, is slated to talk about the new electro-mechanical lab and technical trades training.
This will be a popular meeting so please register as soon as possible.
Date and Time: Friday, June 19 from 12:00 - 1:15 pm.
We encourage you to show up early (11:30AM) to network.
Location: DIS building at 1315 Cornwall Ave., Bellingham, WA
