3. Innovation Community. (staff: Sam Houghteling, Josh Birks, Jackie Kozak-Thiel; 15 minute staff
presentation; 45 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to discuss Innovation Community, which Council identified as a priority at
its May 2015 retreat. In recent years, Fort Collins has received numerous accolades for its business-
friendly climate, vibrant culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, and outstanding quality of life.
The foundation for that success lies in a collective tenacity to take calculated risks and a community
committed to collaboration and self-improvement. It is in this spirit that The City of Fort Collins and
Colorado State University have recently embarked on an exciting partnership to assess and advance
our regional Innovation Ecosystem, centered on two initiatives:
The City of Fort Collins is mapping the assets of our local innovation ecosystem, in an effort to
identify regional strengths, address industry challenges, and developing a pipeline of impactful
community investments.
CSU is seeking a 2016 Innovation & Economic Prosperity University Designation from the
Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, which recognizes public universities working to
become stronger local, regional, and state partners in economic and community development.
