PEORIA — Now there’s a place in town where ideas can go to grow up.
OneFire, Inc., the start-up technology firm based at the Peoria NEXT Innovation Center, 801 W. Main St., is launching what’s called an idea accelerator through OneFire Labs, a newly-formed division of the company.
“We’re looking at it as an innovation agency, one that solves problems for others,” said Jake Hamann, OneFire president and CEO.
“OneFire Labs will offer growth opportunities for our overall business and serve clients and the community by offering a mechanism to repeatedly test and launch new ventures,” he said.
Hamann sees the development as the latest move in the area’s effort to foster innovation in central Illinois.
