George Mason's Fuse at Mason Square officially opened today and Ryan Touhill hosted the ribbon-cutting ceremony. This 345,000 square foot, state-of-the-art hub is home to Mason's innovation and entrepreneurship programs. Anchor institutions like George Mason contribute significantly to the growth of the local innovation ecosystem and we're excited to see what the future holds for Arlington and the region. #ArlingtonVA #techecosystem #GeorgeMason #FUSE #AI #Entrepreneurship #techtalent.
I am thrilled to have taken part in the ribbon cutting ceremony for George Mason University's new Fuse at Mason Square building, alongside Congressman Don Beyer, President Gregory Washington, Brian Naumick and Liza Durant. This innovation center is poised to become a powerhouse for tech and entrepreneurship across various sectors like cybersecurity, AI, quantum computing, autonomous vehicles, robotics and AR/VR. For us at Arlington Economic Development, this is more than just a new building; it's a leap into the future, promoting growth for George Mason, Arlington, and the region. Beyond its walls, FUSE will generate economic opportunities, inspire entrepreneurs, and attract companies, strengthening Northern Virginia's tech ecosystem one innovation at a time. #ArlingtonVA #techecosystem #GeorgeMason #FUSE #AI #Entrepreneurship #techtalent
