Over the past year, KSTC expanded programming for Kentucky’s entrepreneurial community, while remaining committed to supporting the three pillar’s of Kentucky’s innovation-driven economy: research-driven products and services, access to capital, and talent.
We’ve also been collaborating to ensure Kentucky is well-positioned to compete for an increasing number of federal funding opportunities through partnerships such as the Metals Innovation Initiative (MI2), development of the Kentucky Science & Technology Plan: Vision 2030, and major projects such as the Additive Manufacturing Forward Engine (one of only 16 national finalists in the NSF Regional Innovation Engines competition) and GAME Change Engine (awarded a $1M development grant by the NSF).
We invite you to read more about these projects and updates from our core initiatives in our FY23 Impact Report. We’ll be sharing additional highlights in the coming weeks to recognize the impact made by all of our teams: AdvanceKentucky, Kentucky Commercialization Ventures, Kentucky Intellectual Property Alliance (KYIPA), Kentucky Science & Engineering Foundation, Kentucky's Innovation Hubs, Keyhorse Capital, Kentucky APEX Accelerator and KY VALOR.
