NEOinc is pleased welcome new tenants in a couple of our incubators.

MAGNET (Cleveland)

Bakersfield, California-based Keep It Simple Solutions (KISS) joins San Diego-based Freedom Meditech, Inc. as the second California company utilizing MAGNET to help bring their new products to the marketplace.

Keep It Simple Solutions (KISS) is in development of emergency shelters made of 100 percent polymer composite that can be erected on-site by as few as two people with no building experience and without the use of power tools. The units are durable, provide security and dignity and provide emergency and disaster relief housing after events such as hurricanes or tsunamis.  The units can be built as single rooms or large complexes in virtually any configuration that can also include hallways, breezeways and outbuildings.

Freedom Meditech, Inc. is developing a non-invasive ocular glucose measurement technology for people with diabetes. The device could provide an alternative to the current finger prick method of diabetes blood sugar measurement and monitoring.  The product is planned to operate like binoculars with light being shined on one eye for less than a second and having a digital glucose reading displayed on the device.

Youngstown Business Incubator (YBI)

YBI’s ever growing managed cluster of B2B software application companies in downtown Youngstown grew a bit more with the approval Visual Impact Imaging and Eris Medical Technologies as new tenants.Visual Impact Imaging provides high quality design software and other technical tools to the landscaping industry throughout North America.  Eris Medical Technologies has developed software that is focused on identifying, benchmarking, correcting and tracking outpatient hospital and clinic missing revenue and charge capture opportunities. 

Both firms will be moving into the Youngstown Business Incubator (YBI) in about one month when YBI’s new Taft Technology Center and renovated Semple Building open.  Nine additional software companies are expected to follow within the next twelve months.

So… let’s recap.  That’s two companies from California setting up shop in Cleveland, and a three building campus loaded with world class software companies doing business globally from downtown Youngstown.  Sounds kind of nice, doesn’t it?
