How time flies-- it's time for our final EVENT OF THE 2018 OAPA
MENTORSHIP PROGRAM! For the OAPA mentorship end-of-program event,
we’re excited to host a tour of the emerging Portland Innovation
Quadrant in partnership with Portland State University and First Stop
Portland. The Portland IQ formed when several of Portland's anchor
institutions including PCC, PSU, OMSI, PPS and OHSU recognized that
shared goals, overlapping constituencies, close proximity, increasing
community investment, and complementary real-estate development
projects presented a rare opportunity for collaboration. The Portland
IQ represents a unique, collaborative opportunity for educational
institutions, entrepreneurs, incubators, students and industry —
large and small — to jointly influence, advise, and build an
innovation ecosystem that creates a better future for each and every
one of us, with intention.
Beginning at the PSU Urban Plaza, the tour will showcase the South
Waterfront, which is blossoming as a hotbed for life science, medical
device, and digital health startups, and the Central Eastside, which
is quickly emerging as a hub for collaborative tech innovation.
We’ll take the aerial tram to get a birds-eye view of the entire
Portland IQ from Marquam Hill, hear about EcoDistricts' role in
developing an equitable, inclusive, climate resilient IQ strategy,
tour the LEED Platinum Collaborative Life Sciences Building, and ride
the streetcar to the new Autodesk office + Portland Innovation
Experiment hub (the IQ’s headquarters) at the renovated Towne
Storage Building.
