How Physical Space Fuels Community and Innovation with Emily Krueger
In 1910, Madam C.J. Walker opened her factory on the near west side of downtown Indianapolis (now the home of Historic Walker Theatre). She would go on to become America’s first self-made female millionaire. To this day, the near westside of downtown Indianapolis remains a vibrant hub of innovation—now anchored by the 16 Tech Innovation District. In this episode, we are joined by Emily Krueger, CEO of 16 Tech to talk about the role physical space plays in fostering innovation and community and what the future looks like for the near west side of downtown Indianapolis. Emily Krueger is the President and CEO of 16 Tech Innovation District, a 50-acre community in downtown Indianapolis dedicated to world-changing innovation and economic opportunity.
