Innovation

These days, Washington, D.C. is a good place to be if you are embarking on a new venture and have a focus in the areas of education, health, energy or smart cities. Startups are emerging at an incredible pace. That’s why on Thursday we opened the Microsoft Innovation Lounge at 1776 in Washington, D.C., with some help from Judson Althoff, president of Microsoft North America, and Donna Harris, co-founder of 1776.

Based in downtown Miami, the center will be a state-of-the-art facility that offers a comprehensive set of technology, tools and services to startups, governments, students, faculty and the greater Miami community to help foster innovation, collaboration and economic growth.
