“Maybe Dublin is the best place to start a business” by Doug Evans at SuccessfulWorkplace.com:
Yesterday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new home to the DEC marked the official opening of a state-of-the-art facility to meet the needs of its expanding client base. In addition to providing 21st century office space at affordable rates, the DEC provides assistance for startups, including access to a SOC 2 / HIPAA certified data center.
Perhaps most importantly, through partnerships with the Ohio Small Business Development Centers and other organizations, the DEC provides services designed to help the budding entrepreneur gain knowledge and connections. They offer business and technical advisory sessions and programming tailored to new and expanding businesses. 150 such events were held at the DEC in 2012.
Colleen Gilger, Economic Development Manager for the City of Dublin, says one of the best aspects is the sense of community present in the incubator environment. “The entrepreneurs at the DEC benefit from sharing their experience and expertise as they bring their own ideas to market. Many find their ideas to be complementary and begin to work together as they move their ideas forward, which promotes the DEC community as a whole.”
