Last Thursday I had the opportunity to meet many of the bright, talented and tech-savvy folks who are involved in The Gig Tank, It all starts with the fact that Chattanooga is the first city in the America to offer
1 Gigabit-per-second fiber internet service to all
residents and businesses. We are indeed Gig City.
Eight start up companies from around the globe are in Chattanooga for a
summer-long competition to develop the best application for this digital resource. Gig Tank participants are being assisted by host and business accelerator CO.LAB. The winning proposal will be announced in about six weeks.
This is the type of stimulation of small business entrepreneurship that will pay off in real jobs for local people. To "fix" our economy and prepare for the 21st Century world, it will take a true partnership between government, business & industry, and the creativity and drive of our people.
