News Release from City of Beaverton
Posted on FlashAlert: September 25th, 2014 10:53 AM
Starting Oct. 1, the City of Beaverton's long-time partner, Oregon Technology Business Center (OTBC), will relocate to the Biggi Plaza (3800 SW Cedar Hills Boulevard Suite 260) near The Round in Beaverton.
"The City of Beaverton has a long history with OTBC and helped establish them back in 2004," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "Having OTBC near city services at The Round will foster even more collaboration with this important non-profit."
OTBC's mission is to support tech startups by offering a variety of services, including business plans, specialized coaching from business technology experts, networking events, and entrepreneurship programs.
"OTCB is making a difference in helping local startups grow," said Mayor Doyle. "We support their efforts. Our economic development team works closely with them to create jobs right here in Beaverton."
Biggi Plaza will provide OTBC with more space for private offices and cubicles. Startups can rent space, receive specialized coaching and mentoring starting at $195 per month.
Recently, two OTCB-supported companies transitioned from OTBC space to new office and manufacturing spaces in Beaverton. The two companies--Sonivate Medical, developer of finger-tipped ultrasound devices, and Membean, creator of a guided vocabulary instructing software for students--are creating jobs in Beaverton.
"We're happy to see that these two innovative companies chose to stay in Beaverton and grow their businesses here," said Jim McCreight, Oregon Technology Business Center's director of strategic partnerships. "Keeping Beaverton economically sound is very important to us. Our goal is to give start-up businesses the resources and space they need to succeed, and have them transition to larger spaces in Beaverton."

In 2014, Beaverton was again recognized as the safest city in the Pacific Northwest. In 2012, the city was awarded the Mayors' Climate Protection Award from the U.S. Conference of Mayors. It was one of just four cities of its size recently recognized as a "Smarter City" energy leader by the Natural Resources Defense Council and one of the 100 Best Places to Live in America by Money magazine. In addition, Beaverton was named one of the best places to raise kids by BusinessWeek magazine, an All-America City finalist, as one of the top 25 Suburbs for Retirement by Forbes.com, one of the 100 Best Walking Cities in America by Prevention magazine, the Recycler of the Year from the Association of Oregon Recyclers, a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation, a Bronze Award Bicycle Friendly Community designation by the League of American Bicyclists and as one of the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Communities, the Beaverton Community Vision program was named Public Involvement Project of the Year--Best Planning Project by the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) Cascade Chapter. Beaverton also enjoys one of the most diverse populations in Oregon.
