Journal Gazette reporter Sherry Slater highlights the extraordinary possibilities of the Electric Works Innovation District, the random “collision” of students, academics, technologists and business professionals in a space where ideas become reality.
“Where innovation happens is sort of at the edges of these disciplines,” said Tony Armstrong, president and CEO of the Indiana University Research and Technology Corp., adding that scientists working with information technology experts would be an example.
“It’s those collisions when people bump into each other at coffee or over lunch,” he said. “It really becomes this hub of activity.”
