One of the region's largest universities is the teaming up with Cintrifuse to create a space for tech executives to troubleshoot their problems.
Miami University and the Over-the-Rhine nonprofit are launching the Ideation Green Lab, a 10,000-square-foot facility inside Hamilton's Spooky Nook sports complex designed to give companies access to the two organizations' bevy of experts to help their business problems, according to the Journal-News.
The goal is to help the region produce more sustainability-centric startups, such as Hamilton's own 80 Acres Farm, which recently completed the region's largest capital raise to date. Sustainable tech has been a key focus on Cintrifuse in recent years.
Early participants will include:
- Imflux Inc., which aims to reduce plastics in packaging for Procter & Gamble by 90 percent over the next decade;
- Thyssenkrupp Bilstein, which makes highly adjustable shock absorbers for Tesla, BMW and Mercedes Benz; and
- Saica, a Spanish manufacturer of recycled cardboard boxes, which is building its first North American facility in Hamilton’s Enterprise Park industrial park
