Last week saw another great
Startup Grind
event. Moderator
Luis Martinez
gave us an inside look at how the San Diego Airport Authority designed a startup incubator from the commuter terminal called the
Innovation Lab
. The terminal was left in tact from when it was shut down and now serves as a testing sandbox for new technologies. Under
Rick Bellioti
’s vision, startups apply to a cohort and get the opportunity to learn how to work with the Airport and potentially sign a contract to test their product within. San Diego startups like
AtYourGate
,
BaggageNanny
, and over a dozen more have gone through the incubator, and
Gina Jacobs
has been leading the charge as Program Manager. Keep an eye out for the Lab’s next batch announcement.
Cheers!
