South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –June 4, 2010 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br />B. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(5) continued… <br /> <br />accounting and business support to these <br />start-up businesses while they focus on <br />getting their product to market. We may <br />need to provide funding assistance. We may <br />need to provide educational programs. Third <br />or fourth stage businesses don’t need those <br />kinds of assistance, but South Bend needs to <br />be prepared to offer them to start-up <br />businesses that consider locating here. <br /> <br />Technology start-ups need access to interns. <br />She hears that everywhere she goes. Tenants <br />complain about not having enough interns. <br />You’d think a research university would have <br />ample interns available. Plus, the businesses <br />want help writing the job description, help <br />putting the advertisement in the newspaper. <br /> <br />How do we get to this point? <br />Visualize four <br />columns, equidistant apart, supported by <br />beams and connected to each of the other <br />columns. You end up with a square of <br />beams, an X through the center, supported by <br />four columns. Those four columns are <br />collaboration, focus, education and funding. <br />Those four things are absolutely crucial to <br />marketing a tech park . <br /> <br />Collaboration has to happen in the public <br />sector. The city must streamline its public <br />policy procedures. We must make it <br />seamless for companies to move from <br />Innovation Park to Ignition Park. And we <br />must make it simple to come to our town and <br />end up at Ignition Park. South Bend has to <br />do it because our competition is doing it. <br /> 13 <br /> <br />
