We have a really cool weekend of events coming up, right of the bat RSVP for Friday March 6 now! Cambridge Innovation Center Welcome Reception · Luma

In addition Utah Innovators, Educators, Philanthropists, Citizens, Cause and Faith based organizations and Businesses and Government Officials will have an opportunity to be a "sponsor" of the 4 day events, with the ability to have a table, swag, flyer at as many of the the events we have that they can attend or send stuff to (more about that later on)

We: (WE) Accelerant, Aspire Ability, auticon and additional aligned entities working to collaborate with Salt Lake City Corporation, the State of Utah and other .gov’s, the University or Utah, USHE and .edu entities, the Community Foundation of Utah and other .org’s and other Indigenous and diverse communities and organizations

We are engaged with the Navajo Nation and want to express thanks to the many that attended OUR welcome reception for President Buu Nygren a couple weeks back, Ahxé’héé (thank you!) Check out the photo galleries from President Nygrens event and Utah Tech Week if you want to use a couple photos drop some dough for EM (Utah Tech Week) or Erinn (Pres Nygren event) in our donations accepted venmo account and tag them.

Jon Mott, Buu Nygren and Moroni Bennaly

As the end of the Utah legislative session is fast approaching we acknowledge we still need to reach out to many of you that have expressed interest of involvement (bear with us)

To recap that conversation, Aspire Ability is currently engaged in building remote tech-based jobs in the Navajo Nation utilizing an approach that side-steps arduous federal barriers that make development (in any form) difficult on all Tribal lands.

The realization of this vision depends on a mutual investment in the untapped opportunities available to Tribes - and all underserved communities throughout Utah.

The Cambridge Innovation Center (CiC) represents another significant potential way to activate these opportunities for Tribes and citizens of Utah.

CIC representative Dougan Sherwood will be visiting Utah to evaluate potential opportunities in Utah March 3-6, and we invite you to a welcome reception Friday at 6 Duvin Pintor RSVP here (donations accepted)

Moroni Bennaly, Jon Mott, Joel Smith, and Joe Murvallo

CiC itinerary is available at 7xCX.us and below.

CIC is an organization founded in 1999 at MIT guided by the belief that strong innovation ecosystems help to propel economic development and social impact.

CIC works with communities and education providers (as do We) to train individuals to localize, enhance, and capitalize on current infrastructure to lift and build a better global society. 

As we are aligned with Hudu Academy, an accredited credential based company that takes into consideration degreed and non-degreed competencies, and The NSF engines program, a bold new initiative aimed at significantly expanding our Nation's innovation capacity by investing in key areas of national interest and economic promise our consortium is particularly well aligned to partner with CiC as we bring the Accelerant Greentech Energy type 1 innovation engine and the CommonMission.us type 2 innovation engine which are both pending NSF approval. 

Accelerant BSP LLC and Common Mission Project

Ahxé’héé (Thank you) and Best Wishes for the upcoming week!
