Velo-City: a university dorm / incubator
University of Waterloo is establishing a dorm to be a place where some of its "most talented, entrepreneurial, creative and technologically savvy students will be united under one roof to work on the future of mobile communications, web and new media."VeloCity is no ordinary student residence.
As the University Bulletin attributes to project leader Sean van Koughnett:
I thought about the many great success stories in the web, mobile communications and new media arena that originated in the minds of students, and I thought, this is absolutely the perfect time and place for something like VeloCity!Waterloo has been talking to the major players and local companies in telecommunications, media and mobile communications and the MMNP project team expects to be making specific announcements shortly about corporate partnerships.
Applications for VeloCity will be taken later this month.

Mark,
What we also need to see is more seed capital flowing to early-stage entrepreneurs. It's fine to give them a place to work on ideas but if they can't take them to the next step due to a lack of capital, then what's the point.

As the blog post and the Waterloo Bulletin article say, watch for announcements about greater participation in the project.
