LAS VEGAS, NV --- The city of Las Vegas is expanding its successful International Innovation Center @ Vegas (IIC@Vegas) business incubator to a second location.

 

The original center is an 11,000-square-foot space at 300 S. Fourth St. that opened in 2019 as an incubator for companies developing smart technologies that align with city priorities.

 

The International Innovation Center II (IIC@VegasII) will officially open in the second quarter of this year at 801 S. Main St. in downtown Las Vegas in the former Western Cab Co. building.

According to Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman, city of Las Vegas, the expectation for the second center is the same. “We already have companies lining up for space at our second Innovation Center,” said Goodman.

 “Conventions like CES put the city in the global technology spotlight; and our Innovation District puts in place the infrastructure necessary to support technology development.

 

"Our Innovation Centers further enhance the city’s appeal as a great place to develop and test new, cutting-edge technologies that will ultimately uplift quality of life.”

“The International Innovation Center @Vegas has been an amazing incubator and we are excited to add additional space at the beautifully renovated Herbert building for our second center,” Ward 3 Councilwoman Olivia Diaz said.

 

“The Las Vegas tech community is growing fast and new startup including workforce development, smart technology, at-risk populations, neighborhood development and public safety."

 

Building owner and local developer, J Dapper, is currently overseeing a full renovation of the building dubbed The Herbert, named after his father-in-law, Herb Tobman, who acquired Western Cab. Co. in 1965.

The IIC@VegasII at The Herbert spans 7,000 square feet of the building’s total 9,068 square feet and already boasts two tenants: Safe Arbor and CKI Locker. The building is also home to The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill.
