“We want San Jose to certainly be a capital in AI innovation,” Mahan said during a speech at the innovation summit on Thursday. “We are having discussions to bring incubators and accelerators into our downtown to take advantage of the fact that we have 36,000 students at San Jose State and the technical talent there,” Mahan said.
“One thing we are talking to San Jose State about is to actually build an innovation lab on campus,” Mahan said. “This would enable students to begin to experiment, and prototype and test in a safe and cost-effective way, new concepts for companies while they are still students.” These fledgling efforts could strengthen the city’s urban core. Dillabough said in an interview on Thursday with this news organization that he’s encouraged by the mayor’s efforts.
“When the private sector starts to get into lockstep with the private sector, it can unleash some very powerful opportunities,” Dillabough said.
