From YouTube: Piaggio Fast Forward Expansion Ribbon Cutting
Description
Boston has always been a city of innovation, and global technology companies like Piaggio Fast Forward are looking to make our city their home. Mayor Walsh joins local city and state officals, along with the employees of Piaggio Fast Forward to cut the ribbon on their expanded warehouse space in Charlestown, and to celebrate STEM week in the city of Boston.
A
A
Senator
Vinick,
oh
I,
think
they'll
be
joining
us
for
the
ribbon-cutting
representative
Ryan.
These
are
all
really
key
leaders
and
I
think
their
presence
is
a
testimony
to
the
ways
in
which
the
private
sector
and
government
have
worked
together
in
Boston
to
make
it
really.
One
of
the
great
urban
hubs
of
innovation
in
the
world
came
to
be
founded
in
Boston.
A
We
have
a
tremendous
set
of
resources
in
our
universities
or
research
capabilities
or
labs,
and
the
kind
of
talent
pool
that
comes
out
of
those
institutions
is
obviously
a
key
component,
but
we
also
have
one
of
the
most
vibrant
robotics
communities
anywhere
in
the
world,
and
even
though
the
FF
is
a
company
that
derives
from
the
Gaucho
group,
which
is
a
135
year
old
company,
I'm,
not
sure
you
can
say
that
about
very
many
companies
in
the
world.
It's
always
been
in
about
the
lady
business.
A
We
are
the
innovation
wing
of
that
35
year,
old,
venture
and
the
foundation
of
the
company
in
2015.
Our
focus
has
really
been
on
the
same
basic
DNA,
which
is
light
mobility,
but
it's
like
mobility,
informed
by
imagining
in
terms
of
the
technologies
that
are
reshaping
the
world
today,
which
is
why
we
are
a
robotics
company
focused
on
themes,
as
our
guests
have
probably
noticed,
we're
all
wearing
a
t-shirt
here,
which
actually
kind
of
tells
the
PFF
story.
A
Today,
and
one
of
those
one
of
the
statistics
that
really
struck
us
when
Greg
and
I
first
started,
leading
a
team
of
researchers
and
designers
and
technologists
was
that
people
when
they
talk
about
what
is
the
most
pleasurable
satisfying
meaningful
way
to
move
around
the
world.
There's
almost
universal
agreement
in
every
culture.
That
walking
is
the
best
way
to
move
around.
A
But
if
you
look
at
a
country
like
our
own,
some
10
to
20
percent
of
trips
that
are
made
for
one
mile
or
less
are
made
in
automobiles,
so
people
say
they
love
walking,
but
they
don't
walk.
So
what
is
the
reason
that
they
don't
walk
that
they?
Maybe
there's
a
discrepancy
between
this
kind
of
ideal
way
of
the
way
they
actually
do.
A
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
moving
stuff
around
with
the
difficulties
of
moving
around
particularly
people
who
have
mobility.
Challenges
who
aren't
well
served
by
so
defense.
C
A
Of
smart
manacles
that
would
support
a
larger
vision
of
the
city
of
the
walkable
city
of
cities,
where
people
re-engage
to
that
kind
of
neighborhood
scale
when
they
move
around,
whether
it's
for
pleasure,
or
whether
it's
for
work,
whether
it's
interacting
with
other
people
with
friends,
they
move
around
and
in
a
sense,
perform
that
form
of
autonomy.
That's
the
defining
feature
of
humans
is
bipeds,
and
you
know
we're
really
thrilled
to
have
all
of
you
here
when
it
came
to
deciding
where
to
locate
our
manufacturing
facility.
A
We
chose
to
go
local
because
for
a
number
of
the
reasons
I
already
mentioned,
but
also
because
we're
really
excited
about
the
prospect
of
the
kind
of
flexibility
and
nimbleness
that
this
gives
us
to
have
our
headquarters
here
and
then
just
right
down
the
street.
We've
got
our
manufacturing
facility
and
we
think
particularly
working
with
municipal
authorities
with
state
authorities.
We
have
a
really
opportunity
to
model
the
future
of
mobility,
the
model,
the
future
of
cities
and
that's
why
we're
so
thrilled
I'm,
particularly
well.
D
D
Asure
and
the
evolution
of
traveling,
if
you
will
of
carrying
stuff
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
Thank
you
for
being
it
today
with
us
today,
who's
already
mentioned
city,
councilor,
Lydia,
woods,
Dini
Ryan,
they
represent
of
the
undersecretary
from
the
state,
which
is
great
drama,
rose
from
economic
development
here
in
the
City
of
Boston,
and
really
want
to
think
about
companies
like
yours,
I'm
excited
because
of
the
talent
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
that's
coming
here,
a
quick
question
show
of
hands
how
many
of
you
went
to
college
here?
D
D
Seen
as
I
was
doing,
the
tour
I
went
to
Copenhagen
I,
think
Copenhagen
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
as
I
was
there,
what
really
struck
me
was
was
the
mobility
piece
of
Copenhagen,
where
people
are
in
incredible
shape,
they're
running
they're,
walking,
they're
jogging,
they're
riding
bike?
Fifty
percent
of
the
people
that
travel
in
Copenhagen
right
travel
by
bike
bicycle
in
Boston
I
think
that,
but
we're
in
the
single
digits
very
low
right
now,
but
we
really
have
to
start
thinking
outside
the
box
and
what
your
company
does.
D
D
How
many
of
you
have
more
than
one
roommate
yeah?
So
that's
no
event
we're
working
on
is
housing
in
our
city.
I
know
it's
not
that's
not
the
reason
I'm
here
today,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we're
really
focused
on
is
Boston
has
grown
for
this
incredible
growth.
Spurt
in
the
last
five
years,
we
have
50,000
new
people
living
in
the
city
of
Austin,
live
100
thousand
hundred
twenty
thousand
people
working
in
the
City
of
Austin
and
the
issue
we're
kind
of
caught
in
here
is
we
weren't
prepared
for
the
growth
transportation
sector
side.
D
We
weren't
prepared
for
the
growth
on
the
housing
side
and
we
were
doing
a
lot
of
work,
and
that's
all
these
folks
that
laser
focused
on
creating
opportunities
for
housing
and
we're
working
on
displacement.
So
people
that
live
here
grow
up
in
the
city.
I
mean
pushed
out
way.
Young
people
making
good
money,
but
we're
also
working
to
create
more
middle
class
housing.
Something
that's
really
important
for
us.
So
I
just
asked
you,
as
you
think
about,
as
you
think
about
Boston
you
think
about
the
future
boss
and
get
engaged
in
the
process.
D
We
want
you
to
get
engaged
in
the
process
because
it's
so
important
if
we
want
to
continue
to
be
innovative.
If
you
want
to
continue
to
be
competitive
with
the
rest
of
the
world
and,
quite
honestly,
we
are
as
a
city.
We
have
to
think
about
ways
of
improving
quality
of
life
and
two
things:
I
think
that
are
most
important
for
in
front
of
us
right
now
over
the
course.
The
next
few
years
is
creating
more
opportunities
for
housing,
particularly
middle-class
housing.
We
leave
the
country
in
low-income
housing.
D
One
out
of
every
five
units
is
low
income,
deed
restricted,
which
is
good.
We
still
going
to
continue
to
do
that,
but
we
also
have
to
figure
out
how
do
we
get
this
middle
class
housing
piece
figured
out,
because
if
we
don't
what's
happening,
is
people
being
pushed
out
of
the
community
and
a
lot
of
you?
How
many
of
you
live
in
some
of
them
or
you're
living
in
a
Jane
enjoy
Jason
city
next
to
Boston
and
I?
Think
many
of
you
might
want
to
live
here
and
watch
the.
D
If
you
go
forward
to
it,
you
can
so
we're
gonna
continue
to
work
to
make
sure
we
move
forward
there,
so
those
are
just
kind
of
a
little
political
side
of
it.
But
what
you're
doing
here
is
so
important.
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
One
thank
the
company
and
thank
all
of
you
for
you.
Do.
Innovations
are
key
to
the
future
of
our
city
and
the
success
of
our
city.
So
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
come
here
and
say
a
few
words
and
also
to
the
country.
D
You
guys
thank
you
for
being
here
in
Boston.
Thank
you
for
investing
in
Washington.
Thank
you
for
believing
in
Boston.
Thank
you
for
creating.
You
know
a
warehouse
in
Boston
and
technology
in
Boston
that
is
so
important
to
the
future
of
our
city.
Last
thing,
I'll,
say
young
people
here.
Do
me
a
favor
I
love
to
see
them
into
other
kids.
D
I
love
this
you
get,
engage
and
I
hope
your
schools,
young
people
in
our
school
system
that
are
in
high
school
right
now
that
don't
think
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
them
to
perform
it
and
they
think
I
think
having.
If
any
of
you
want
an
opportunity,
please
have
love.
You
have
mentoring,
young
people
that
it's
so
gratifying
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
you
to
really
get
a
chance
to
see
firsthand
and
actually
change
the
outcome
of
a
young
person's
life,
giving
them
an
opportunity
telling
me
on
story.
We
all
have
a
story.
D
Our
stories
are
unique
to
ourselves.
Tell
your
story!
It
explain
what
brought
you
to
this
moment
in
time.
What
brought
you
to
this
company?
What
brought
you
here,
I!
Don't
think
many
of
you
in
your
high
school
thinking,
I'm
going
to
go
work
at
a
company
and
create
something
as
special,
that's
going
to
change
mobility
and
in
the
world,
and
if
you
had
that
opportunity
to
talk
some
young
people,
I
love
that
thank
you.
B
Wall
share,
first
of
all,
my
second
to
Mary,
congratulating
all
of
you.
This
tremendous
success.
Sense
of
you
may
need
to
have
a
family
when
we
can
progress
on
mobility.
Already
that's
good,
but
I
did
just
want
to
say
how
thrilled
we
are
that
you're
in
Massachusetts
that
you're
in
Boston
doing
this
great
work
here
and
the
governor
of
her
paper
to
governor
Pluto
and
the
entire
administration
really
shares
that
sentiment
as
I
was
learning
a
little
bit
about
her
story.
B
B
The
product
here
but
I
did
just
want
to
say
a
couple
things.
First
of
all,
it's
always
a
great
food
confidence
when
I
group
there's
other
than
35
years
of
experience
using
your
community
to
set
up
shop
and
drive
innovation,
and
it's
a
huge
part
of
that
is
all
of
you,
the
workforce.
The
people
were
here
doing
the
work
of
the
work
driving
that
innovation,
putting
your
brains
to
the
test
and.
E
B
State
was
incredibly
happy
and
to
support
me
with
some
horse
trading
funds.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
level
of
support
continues,
as
you
think
about
the
products
of
the
futures.
You
think
about
the
skills
you
need
to
continue
to
grow
the
business
that
the
city
and
the
state
can
partner
and
achieve
to
make
sure
that
continues.
B
I
think
it's
particularly
appropriate
directives
for
systemic
stem
month.
Some
thinking
about
all
the
different
kids
in
high
schools,
colleges
and
community
colleges
all
around
us
that
are
going
to
be
your.
Hopefully,
your
colleagues,
my
future
think
about
the
next
bit
of
patience.
Please
take
mayor
Walsh
up
on
that
offer
to
get
involved
and
support
their
community.
It's
pretty,
except
for
what
you
guys
are
up
to
here
and
looking
forward
to
I
think
it
was
November
16
community
just
to
see
the
product
launch.
B
C
My
role
is
to
recruit
I
work
closely
with
all
our
guests
in
this
mess
fire
and
we
identify
talent,
you're
going
to
grow
and
you've
been
working
with
us,
well
meaning
you're
already,
and
we've
got
some
great
opportunities
and
great
meetings,
we're
gonna
practice
a
few
other
folks
with
the
HIV
care
and
the
products.
Incredible.
That's
our
understanding
from
the
culture
and
already
sees
much.
C
So
we
really
want
to
work
closely
with
businesses
that
you
feedback
final
much
as
we
can
to
understand
your
product,
understand
the
workforce
and
then
and
diverse
folks
across
the
border,
so
that
you
have
the
best
possibility.
The
best
approach
representing
their
areas
with
you
to
help
them
grow.
So
I
truly
appreciate
it.
A
F
F
Everybody
else
and
that's
important,
because
you
folks
are
occupying
an
area
that
was
forgotten
about
for
30
40
50
years.
It's
a
bunch
of
real
beds
back
the
other
used
to
ship
of
bricks
in
toddler.
That's
what
they
made
that
cardboard
and
there's
a
few
other
things,
but
it
was
not
innovative.
There
was
stuff
people
needed
and
then,
when
the
rail
drive
you
know,
people
didn't
even
send
the
real
cars
down
here
anymore,
because
there
wasn't
any
business.
F
F
Everybody
forgot
about
this
end
of
Boston
in
Massachusetts,
but
I
want
to
thank
not
just
you
guys,
are
taking
the
chance
here
in
child
stuff,
but
also
made
up
walls
and
live
here
Edwards
because
they
both
ran
on
megachurch,
almost
off
the
block
and
we're
going
to
have
brand
new
roads
and
bridges
after
being
in
order
for
50
or
60
years,
because
people
like
you,
took
a
chance
and
starting
a
business
here,
because
the
mayor
becomes
the
head.
Woods
took
a
chance
on
this
community,
this
end
of
the
world
and
I.
A
E
You
very
much
so
I
think
just
following
up
on
the
from
here
and
the
core
you
can
be
here.
I
have
to
say
honestly:
I
am
you
don't
have
to
be
Boston
born
to
be
bought
to
be
from
Boston
I'm,
not
Boston,
born
I
did
not
grow
up
in
Boston
and
yet
I
have
the
honor
to
represent
the
beautiful
communities
in
Boston.
E
I'm
extremely
happy
about
that,
and
my
job
and
representative
Ryan's
job
is
to
make
sure
that
as
we
grow,
we
grow
with
you
as
a
community.
You
will
meet
some
of
the
young
women,
our
high
schools,
in
our
elementary
schools,
who
need
to
know
about
this
opportunity
who
need
to
know
that
this
is
something
that
they
can
be
a
part
of
you're
not
only
going
to
meet
them,
but
you're,
probably
going
to
come
to
a
lot
of
their
events.
We
have
a
wonderful
parade
here.
E
Every
year,
we'll
expectancy's
there
and
I'm
saying
on
these
things,
because
again
well,
I'm
not
born
here
I'm
from
Boston.
Now
this
is
my
community
and
to
watch
it
grow
and
just
watch
about
an
actual
way
is
my
job,
and
it's
also
mayor's
job
to
make
sure
that
not
only
are
we
growing
in
an
equitable
way,
but
in
a
way
that
allows
for
you.
