City of Mason and Top Gun Sales Launch One-of-a-Kind Tech HubMASON, Ohio --(Business Wire)-- The City of Mason and Top Gun Sales Performance jointly announced the opening of the Mason Tech Center, an innovative class A office space created through a partnership between the two entities. The Tech Center, designed to provide an entrepreneurial space and resources for new tech companies to grow and get to market more quickly, features advanced power supply technology and a data center tailored to the complex energy and backup needs of biotechnology and digital/IT companies. The opening of the tech center is a benchmark development in Mason's strategic growth as it develops digital/IT and biohealth industry clusters along the I-71 tech corridor. "We are extremely proud of what we've accomplished in a relatively short period of time through innovative business partnerships, like this one," sai City of Mason Mayor David F. Nichols. "Because we understand the needs of business owners, we can meet the requirements of young growth companies and have built our Tech Center around crucial support services for them." One company to leverage the Mason Tech Center was ConnXus, an online commerce service that connects diverse and small businesses with companies seeking to expand and diversify their supplier base. "The Mason Tech Center is a unique alternative to a traditional startup incubator," says Sue Oswalt, vice president of operations and member services at ConnXus. "By bringing together public and private resources, the City is building a location and community that is a great fit for a company like ours." Other companies in the Center include, Hipaax, KPG Creative, Cloud Takeoff and Riverbend Worldwide. "The Mason Tech Center is unlike any other space designed for start-up companies because of the infrastructure, expertise, and services we provide to young, growing companies," said Steven Osborne, President of Top Gun Sales Performance. The feedback we're getting is very strong." Other City of Mason announcements within the past two years include Seapine Software opening a $7 million technical center along the I-71 corridor, and Top Gun moving into the Mason Tech Center in 2012.
