Public, Private Partners Create Idaho’s First Smart Business Ecosystem

A consortium of concerned business people, entrepreneurs, and city leaders are taking a forward-thinking approach to how we do business in Idaho. Their efforts to optimize business efficiency, productivity, and sustainability have led to the creation of a Smart Business Ecosystem (SBE) in Idaho’s Treasure Valley, ready for launch July 2009.

The goal of the SBE is to connect smart, sustainable businesses and communities via projects from both private and public sectors. The SBE Consortium is made up of key players from the City of Meridian, Cisco Systems, VengaWorks Venture Centers, Modus and Erstad Architects, Boise State University, and Idaho Tech Connect.

“With this particular group’s diverse yet targeted expertise, the SBE plans to introduce to the community new models promoting workforce flexibility, enhanced productivity, collaboration, and a sharp focus on sustainability at all levels of enterprise – from design to operations to environment to output,” said Mark Gilbreath of VengaWorks. “One direct result will be higher levels of efficiency –efficiencies that result in operational savings for businesses and a smaller environmental footprint that positively affects us all.”
