August 21: Bob Coy, CEO, 16 Tech
What is an Innovation District? It’s 16 Tech. It’s 60 acres of opportunity on the near west side of Indianapolis that is being purposefully built to ignite innovation across industry sectors. Bob Coy, president and CEO of the 16 Tech Community Corporation, will talk about how industry, nonprofit and civic leaders have come together to create a dynamic community for scientific research, technology innovation, entrepreneurial activity and talent attraction, with a focus on startups and corporations in the biosciences, tech and advanced engineering sectors. Bob will provide an update on progress, as well as preview several initiatives that are being developed to ensure access and opportunity for Marion County residents.
As President, Coy leads the development of 16 Tech into a major hub for scientific research, technology innovation, entrepreneurial activity and talent development, retention and attraction. Prior to 16 Tech, Coy has held entrepreneurial and economic development leadership positions with public and private institutions over the past 32 years in Ohio, Missouri, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Coy earned a master’s degree from University of Notre Dame and a bachelor of arts degree from Pennsylvania State University.
The public is always welcome at Rotary. Our programs take place at the Ivy Tech Culinary and Conference Center and the cost is just $26 per person. It’s best to arrive by noon and know that we always conclude by 1:15.
