NEWS + NOTES

If you did not make it to the dedication of Flagship2 last week, stop by and check it out – no charge. It is a pretty cool place that came about thanks to Chip Adams of Clambank Construction and Jacob Lindsey of Fabric Urban Design Office. Now that the dust has just about settled at Flagship2, it is time to get rolling on some of the other items on my agenda. Top of this list is my goal to develop the best portal for knowledge-based jobs in Charleston.

Flagship2

It’s here!! Flagship2 (FS2), the expansion of the Digital Corridor’s highly successful Flagship, downtown Charleston’s premier co-working/incubation business environment. FS2 is dedicated for use by intermediate-stage, knowledge-based companies and complements the Flagship’s current office space offerings with a variety of office configurations ranging from 300 to 3,000 square feet. Adjacent to the Flagship, these two “smart” buildings collectively represent Charleston’s emerging “Connected Economy.” More.

2011 Digital Corridor iFive:K Update

The 5th Annual iFive:K was a great success, selling out all 750 registrations, including over 20 Digital Corridor member teams. While the weather caused the race to be called, the after party (networking) started early. A record amount was raised for the Corridor’s Scholarship Fund. 2011 recipients include:

• $2,500 to Palmetto Scholars Academy, South Carolina’s first Gifted and Talented Charter School
• $2,000 to two students at ECPI studying Electronics Engineering Technology and Network Security

Thanks to our sponsors and participants for making this event such a huge success. We look forward to your participation in the 2012 event, scheduled for April 19th, 2012.
