The TIC Celebrates Anniversary and Innovation
Posted: 12/11/2009
Glasses of champagne were passed out among the guests as Amy Cosper, editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur magazine, gave the toast. East Lansing's Technology Innovation Center (TIC) celebrated its one-year anniversary with a gala event featuring Ms. Cosper and a wide-range of local luminaries. The event, entitled "Launched", was a celebration of innovators and entrepreneurs. Ms. Cosper traveled from Laguna Beach, California, to deliver the champagne toast and announce that her magazine will include the City of East Lansing in their list of “Top Ten College Towns to Start a Business” in an upcoming issue. While most of the guests did not travel 2,000 miles (and experience a 60 degree drop in temperature) the attendees did include entrepreneurs from the TIC, including Digital Active Online, officials from the City of East Lansing, MSU Technologies and entrepreneurs from the greater Lansing area. The night was more than a reflection back on the first year of a wonderful idea; it was a look forward to a collaborative community developing here in Michigan. As a proud The Lansing State Journal covered the TIC anniversary in a cover story in the Monday, December 14, Business Weekly section. The online version of "Cradle of Innovation", can be accessed here.
