Initiative #7: Develop a Healthy Tech and Innovation Ecosystem <br /> "It's about sociology, not technology. <br /> "It's about becoming a connected, smart, innovative community. <br /> "It's about how we organize ourselves to lead the way in the <br /> V�l�Ill1�'���IIOl�roll�/l�l <br /> global economy. <br /> ...we need people to behave like the Internet—navigating a new <br /> • p p g g <br /> ecosystem of innovation, collaborating across new networks, <br /> building on each other's ideas and growing organically. <br /> r <br /> "High speed fiber is a game changer, but what we do with it <br /> defines the game." <br /> i <br /> From:Playing to Win in America's Digital Crossroads:A playbook for <br /> capitalizing on ultra-high-speed fiber in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas <br /> City, Missouri:May 22,2012 <br /> i <br /> The arrival of Lit San Leandro provides this City with an opportunity, not a certainty. Our <br /> success depends on our ability to engage our diverse community into collaborating, sharing and <br /> creating new avenues of innovation. To fulfill our vision of a Smart Digital Community, we will <br /> continually seek ways to use this fast fiber optic asset that result in high performance and <br /> increased quality of life for its businesses, the City of San Leandro, and its citizens. <br /> The following is a way of focusing on how San Leandro can begin to cultivate a healthy tech and <br /> innovation system, focused on commercial activities at this stage of development. This strategy <br /> touches on issues regarding Universal Access (Fiber-to-the-Home, Digital Inclusion), Education, <br /> Digital Arts and Culture, and Health, but only through the San Leandro Smart City Initiative, <br /> which is today only a concept. Many of these activities are connected to other economic <br /> development initiatives referenced earlier in this report — all connected and collaborating to <br /> grow this new tech and innovation ecosystem. Tech companies look for a community that is a <br /> magnet for their employees, including walkable neighborhoods, vibrant downtowns with high <br /> quality food, drinks and entertainment, and civic engagement supported through technology <br /> and application development that eases access to government. <br /> alt of Leandro Economic icD°evelo Development and Work December 2013 <br /> Y � p Strategy � <br />
