Mission Our three-pronged mission focuses on: Stimulating growth of new and existing science and engineering high-tech companies, Catalyzing formation of a resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Northern Alabama and South-Central Tennessee regions, and Building partnerships with various entrepreneurial ecosystems and hubs to create pathways that empower, ignite, and motivate the community to make ideas happen. Our Philosophy Organic Innovation I²C aims to support and stimulate co-creation and open innovation with a focus on tech startups that consist of one or a few persons. These small teams need a shared working environment to save office costs, and they have a strong desire for knowledge sharing and networking. All of I²C's activities and programming elements conducted by / for the entrepreneurial communities are to encourage sharing, to build cross-sector connections, and to help achieve innovation, and attract like-minded members / participants to contribute, collaborate and thrive. Space Creation I²C environment is developed for adaptable space design and management with a keen focus on style, flow, and flexibility thereby transforming it into an “urban hotspot” conducive to ideation. The I²C space will embody the ideal working environment – one that fosters inspiration, teamwork and fun. The I²C will offer affordable and flexible occupancy agreements for co-working and incubation. Community Enhancement The core of community management is to develop I²C into a co-creation and innovation accelerator as opposed to just shared office space. I²C will nurture and promote a community of like-minded, high-growth, high-potential startups working to scale and grow. One of the most important tasks is to connect our own I²C community with other co-working communities to broaden the pool and possibility of co-creation.
