Sacramento, Calif., recently hopped on the innovation bandwagon, but it’s doing things a little differently.
As the city’s first interim chief innovation officer, former Code For America co-executive director Abhi Nemani has spent the past six weeks studying the Sacramento technology scene and planning a new communications and funding framework among government, community and local business. Meanwhile, the city hunts for a permanent full-time replacement for when Nemani moves on, because he has bigger plans. Sacramento gets to be Nemani’s guinea pig as he outlines what cities across the nation will soon have access to through a new venture called EthosLabs.
