Please plan to join us at The Glenn Group on December 2 for NCET’s Tech Tuesday, Greater Reno-Tahoe’s premier technology and entrepreneurial networking event.   

Come and see why The Glenn Group was recently recognized as one of top four “Best Green Buildings” in the Reno News & Review readers poll. By renovating with an environmentally friendly design and materials, The Glenn Group is working to achieve a coveted LEED silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

With offices in Reno and Las Vegas, The Glenn Group is Nevada’s third largest marketing communications firm. Recently, The Glenn Group’s Reno office went through a major renovation. With the idea of “going green” in mind, The Glenn Group worked to create a vibrant, energy-efficient workplace.  From the inside, out, environmentally-conscious products have become integral, cost-effective components of the renovated office building.  Clear and frosted glass walls work to attract daylight, while state-of-the-art occupancy sensor lighting controls the amount and duration of light emitted by the new, luminescent fixtures. And, much, much more!

A business incubator that seeks to nurture start-up business from around the world — as well as some from northern Nevada — is set to begin operation in Reno early next year.

Organizers believe the incubator could generate 400 to 500 new jobs a year once it’s in full operation.

The privately funded, non-profit Center for Unique Business Enterprises — CUBE, for short — plans to bring a strongly disciplined approach to the creation of new businesses.

The goal: Creation of new companies and more jobs in the region and the development of more opportunities for investors who are hungry to do deals in northern Nevada, says Ky Good, a co-founder of the incubator and chairman of its board of directors. Read full story:
