In the above podcast, BCIC Chairman Michael Limas, BCIC Executive Director Josh Mejia, and BCIC Marketing & Small Business Development Director Nathan Burkhart discuss the investment, what they hope e-Bridge can become, and some of the quality of life economic development projects they are working on.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very excited to be able to announce that the Economic Development Administration has publicly announced their investment of $900,000 for the e-Bridge Center for Business & Commercialization. This center will be the largest center south of San Antonio of its kind,\u201d Mejia told the Rio Grande Guardian.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will provide the fundamental resources for any entrepreneur within the community or outside of the community to start and scale-up a business to a point of commercialization. The key focus areas within the center will be tech, advanced manufacturing, automation, and NewSpace\/aerospace with our partners within the community. However, the center will be a catch-all so any entrepreneur with any ideas is welcome within its doors. They can receive any of the fundamental resources that we will have available from all our partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
