1David Burnett, Midwest City Chamber of Commerce

Clustering is really at the chamber of commerce and AERO EOC clustering is what we are really looking to market in this area.

Clustering provides the synergy among all the companies almost like coals in the fire; if you separate those coals they don’t generate as much heat and they go out a look faster. But when you bring them together, there is a synergy that’s there and basically everyone is more effective when they are together. What we see is that we have core energy, especially in military aircraft sustainment. At TBIP we have a brain trust here, with your engineers and your technology people here; and so I think there will be a real opportunity for networking. If you don’t have the answer, I would think that with the brain trust you have here at TBIP, there ought to be someone on campus that can help you find that answer.

(First of all) Your proximity to TAFB I think gives you a strong position; your proximity to I-40 as a main traffic corridor, and of course - our conference center, and basically just your location I think is a strength for your organization. I think that the fact you have got a campus here that brings everyone together is a real strong suit; I really play upon Acorn Growth Companies and Acorn Growth Equities because they are a place for technology aerospace companies to come, and to start. That is kind of a unique feature; you don’t only cater to the big people like Pratt and Whitney, but you bring in people who are just trying to start up and integrate into the business as well, so I think that is an outstanding feature.

We’ve enjoyed coming in and participating in your partner meetings, where you bring people to together, and you bring in speakers, I know you’ve brought in some of the Congress people, Cong. Cole and others have been by to speak, but you bring your partners in together and we’ve appreciated the opportunity to come and to meet with your partners and see the things that are happening here, I think the fact that you invite us in and show us what you are doing is a real positive.

TBIP is a really a shining star in Oklahoma in my opinion. It is a real asset in the aerospace and technology sector. It is a quality product, and knowing the ownership and the people involved in this project, I brag on TBIP – I put that name out there as many places and as often as I can. I think it is a strong name with a strong product, with many advantages to companies that are looking for a place to really touch Tinker and to touch the aerospace industry. This is the place to do it.
