"Best Places To Launch a Small Business"
CNN Money ranked Peoria fifth among midsize metro areas as one of the best places to launch a small business.
The Bradley Technology Commercialization Center was mentioned as a resource to help small companies access capital.
The article also profiles Intellihot's Sridhar Deivasgamani. He feels "Peoria has a fairly close-knit community that's accepting of new folks and new ideas. In the past 10 years, the town has gone a long way to help attract people to this region."
The Bradley Technology Commercialization Center (BTCC) works with researchers, inventors, and entrepreneurs to transform new technologies and innovations into commercial enterprises.
Our mission is to stimulate the development and commercialization of advanced technology by transforming the intellectual property in the region into successful enterprises; minimizing the management and financial risks faced in the early stages by entrepreneurs in the technology sector. Our Vision is to serve as a catalyst in the development of technology based entrepreneurial businesses resulting in the diversification of our regional economy and the establishment of an epicenter for the entrepreneurial community.
