Mayor Martin J. Walsh, hosting attendees from 14 countries at a State House conference yesterday, said Boston can't just rely on home-grown businesses to fuel its economy.
"Boston and Massachusetts cannot operate in silos," Walsh said. "It's so important to build relationships."
Walsh said the city has received 16 initial proposals for its startup incubator in the soon-to-be unveiled Ferdinand Building in Dudley Square. The building will house the new headquarters for the Boston Public Schools, but will include up to 4,000 square feet for startups.
"Hopefully it's the beginning of many incubators we're going to have in and around the Boston area," he said. "We are looking to continue to start and develop businesses here in Boston."
But, he said, Boston needs to continue growing its "global economy. We must be willing to form partnerships with like-minded cities," he said.
One of those cities is Belfast, where Walsh traveled in September and signed a sister city agreement.
As in Boston, health care is one of the leading industries in Belfast, said the Lord Mayor of Belfast, Nichola Mallon.
"We will be discussing the economics and skill sectors of both of our cities, and e-health will feature highly," she said. "We are committed to making that sister city agreement work."
The conference is Mallon's first international visit.
State Senate President Therese Murray agreed. "To continue to grow, collaboration is key," she said.
