Palm Springs iHub Shines at SBEMP Awards
CVEP CEO Joe Wallace, who also serves as managing director of the Palm Springs iHub, and Hank McCarrick, the owner of SecoSys, one of the innovation incubator’s standout companies, took home two of the four honors bestowed Wednesday night at the second annual SBEMP Awards at the private Colony 29 estates in Palm Springs.
Presented by law firm of Slovak, Baron, Empey, Murphy, & Pinkney LLP, the event celebrates local business leaders and the impact they make across the Coachella Valley.
The Palm Springs iHub and Accelerator Campus have attracted 48 start-up companies, which in turn created almost 150 jobs, in the areas of clean energy, health and medicine, digital media, and wearable technologies.
SecoSys, which is featured in the new edition of Vision Greater Palm Springs,creates intelligent water meters to manage, control, and conserve water in real-time at commercial and residential sites. Joining Wallace (Leadership) and McCarrick (Environment) among the SBEMP honorees were Dr. Sharon Brown-Welty (Impact) of CSUSB Palm Desert Campus and Tyler and Kelly McLean (Entrepreneur) of Splash House.
