Philadelphia 76ers Launch Innovation Lab for Local Start-ups


A longtime Jewish community leader, Rabbi Jonathan Z. Maltzman leads the Conservative congregation of Kol Shalom in Rockville, Maryland. In his free time, Jonathan Maltzman enjoys cheering on Philadelphia-area sports teams, including the NBA’s 76ers. 

Off the court, the Philadelphia 76ers recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the organization’s Innovation Lab. Launched through a partnership with Kimball Office and Pepper Hamilton, LLP, the 8,000-square-foot lab, which is located at the Philadelphia 76ers training complex in Camden, New Jersey, will serve as an incubator for local start-ups and early-stage companies. 

During the ribbon-cutting event on July 18, 2017, the 76ers organization and its partners introduced the four inaugural companies that will serve a residency at the lab. The companies include varied organizations focused on pet care, fantasy sports, and digital media. During their residencies, each company will receive free housing, office space, marketing assistance, and other support services as part of the Sixers’ efforts to promote business innovation and creativity throughout New Jersey.
