Syracuse builds its entrepreneurship networks

Saturday, January 24, 2004

The Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce has taken the latest step in its efforts to build entrepreneurship networks in a city long dominated by large industrial firms.

The latest effort is an incubator, the Syracuse Technology Garden. In addition, the Chamber has launched a web site and an angel investor network, both effective strategies. Learn more.

Unfortunately, the web site is not sufficiently interactive and does not go much beyond "brochureware". Compare the Syracuse site with a far more dynamic site in Northern Virginia, Netpreneur Exchange or a similar site from Washington State, Northwest Entrepreneur Network.

One way to improve: Connect with Syracuse University. The univeristy has a number of centers that can participate in an entrepreneurial network. For example,

The Center for Advanced Technology in Computer Applications and Software Engineering (CASE) accelerates development of New York's high-tech economy.

The Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Entreprises at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management supports the development of new ventures.
