#181: CIC@CET-Cortex

So what is CIC@CET-Cortex? Let's start with the Cortex Corporation, which is located on Forest Park, a bit outside the downtown area. According to its website, the Cortex Innovation Community is home to a 200-acre innovation hub and technology district integrated between Forest Park and Central West End. Basically, the company is all about creating technology jobs and making sure St. Louis is on top of everything.

Created in 2002, this was a start-up of connecting entrepreneurs, investors and the city's resources. The company is also involved in biomedical research and has partnered with universities including UMSL and SLU, as well as healthcare centers like BJC. They call themselves the 'premier hub' of St. Louis.

As of this writing, I'm not sure what the CIC@CET is all about.

Is this our future, like they planned? We shall see.
