BUILT ENVIRONMENT & TRANSPORTATION CLUSTER MEETINGS

You are invited to join us at our next quarterly series of Cluster Meetings on May 17th at the La Kretz Innovation Campus. This upcoming round of cluster meetings will include updates on programming in the respective clusters, industry briefings, and presentations from LACI portfolio companies.

Additionally, we are mixing things up this Spring! To encourage cross-collaboration, we will be linking up the Built Environment and Transportation cluster meetings through a thought-provoking lunch panel discussion on the impact on infrastructure from the fast approaching shift to self-driving vehicles.

Panel Description

For the last hundred years cities have been built around the use and storage of the automobile, but the fast approaching shift to self-driving cars is an opportunity to re-imagine this relationship between transportation and the built environment. As policymakers, program managers, designers, and planners begin to wrestle with crafting visions of what may soon be possible, how do we ensure that the decisions we make and the infrastructure we build today don't lock us into a sub-optimal, or even dystopian, future?

About the LACI Cluster Initiative

This meeting is part of an LACI initiative launched at the beginning of 2016 to build the region’s cleantech clusters by connecting key cleantech stakeholders, technology startups, and industry leaders to work together and forge innovative partnerships with an emphasis on the value that technology can bring to the Industry. In the initial quarterly meetings, the participants introduced themselves to the cluster, shared their organizations’ goals for 2017, and discussed the biggest near-term technology challenges for the cluster.
