The NTXIA said that Fort Worth's coming on board signifies "a major step" toward the city's continued commitment to enhancing quality of life, safety, public health, and welfare of residents in the region through "a data-driven approach." The Panther City joins more than 40 municipalities, agencies, corporations, and academic institutions already in the alliance.
Carlo Capua, chief of strategy and innovation for the city of Fort Worth—and an avid CrossFitter—tells Dallas Innovates how the city snagged the annual world championship event; how it could help build Fort Worth's global footprint; and how this annual "fitness Woodstock" could boost the city's chance to attract multiple professional sports teams.
In April, Mayor Mattie Parker turned on three Bitcoin mining machines in Fort Worth City Hall. Since then, the six-month pilot has netted the city $1,019.31. But the real payoff came when the story swept the country—and companies in California, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New Jersey took interest.
“We tallied nearly 753 million media impressions from this project, which has now branded our city as innovative on a global scale," says Carlo Capua, the city's chief of strategy and innovation.
The "sky is the limit," according to Fort Worth's new chief of strategy and innovation. Carlo Capua is ready to take the innovation reins of the "forward-thinking, tech-friendly, and innovative city."
