DMC EDA presented Discovery Square status to the DMCC. 

The following is a scanning-in of the hard-copy of the presentation. 

There were a number of promising movements in advancing Discovery Square. Of particular interest is Traci Downs telling her story of how she started as patient and fell in love with Rochester and decided to start an investment here by transforming the Conley-Maass building into a "center for creative businesses and technology firms". 

PB article:  ..... "is prepared to make a significant investment in the 15,000-square-foot building to realize their dream of a creative, technology-focused center. When they moved here from Hawaii for a liver transplant for Traci, they brought their medical technology engineering firm called Area 10 Labs (formerly known as Archinoetics) to Rochester. The pair have a long history of creating cutting-edge technology for the government and the medical industry. "

Personal Discovery

I would have loved to see the presentation available on the DMC site. I noticed among the public audience I was not the only fumbling around to see where the material was as it was not part of the meeting material package online. 

If we were to be truly agile in the 21st cloud-based world, having material online, just-in-time and on demand, should be an entry requirement. 

Requiring the public to pick up a hard-copy at the meeting does not meet the DMC vision of being a leading edge tech enabler. I do understand the logistics challenges of getting everyone's presentation in one place for the public meeting. But in the era of social media and cloud based collaboration platform, it would not bode well to rely on snail-mail or paper-ware to disseminate information. 

Nonetheless, it is great to see real biotec projects being pushed forward in Discovery Square.

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
