When Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa unveiled the Los Angeles Mayor’s Council on Innovation and Industry (LAMCII) Wednesday, he emphasized that it had practical goals and was not just another talking shop. Paul Bricault, who among many other things is managing director of accelerator Amplify.la and one of the council’s members, spoke to Digital Media Wire to share some insights about what that means in practice.
There are three core goals that the council has identified and will tackle, he said. One is to garner more attention, since Los Angeles’ successes, talents and achievements deserve more notice and respect than they receive. Second is to increase the investment activity in the area, and third is to nurture local talent while making it attractive for others to join them.
