They are currently in the process of selecting 50 tech-enabled budding businesses that will be closely monitored over the next three years. Those that show great promise will be hand-picked to lead the way through what will become a thriving start-up corridor. Their thinking is that businesses that are built on the backbone of tech will be able to scale more rapidly than anyone else.
Of course, these businesses will need capital in order to achieve such rapid growth.
