Visit the website at www.ideasincubator.org The cluster is continuing to work on a web portal, which will be completed once a community brand has been developed. The cluster has recently received the results of the Technology Study completed by North Star Economics. They are now working to implement the suggestions made in the study. February 6, 2006 The cluster finished defining the necessary categories for the web portal. They have now received input from the other clusters as to what the look and the feel of the web portal should portray. The cluster has recognized the efforts of the CVB and Heart of Wisconsin sites together. The group is also serving in an advisory capactiy to the graphic designer/markerter for the branding of the community. The cluster is collaborating with members of the Wisconsin Rapids Progress Funds Team to create a DVD/video to highligh the community's assets. This cluster is also working on an Ideas Incubator. This will be a tool to effectively match ideas and resources. Two volunteers have been recruited to build the site. They have also formed a marketing subcommittee that will work on the promotion of the Ideas Incubator. Click here to read an interview with John Wellens, New e-conomies cluster member.
