Dare Your Imagination to Become Reality!
We are part of the
statewide Innovation Network that serves Innovators and Investors from
across Kentucky to accelerate the development of technology-based
companies in Kentucky. By leveraging investment capital and business
talent resources throughout the Commonwealth, the Innovation Network
grows Kentucky’s economy by creating jobs and expanding wealth for the
people of Kentucky.
The ICC/ICs are
serviced by The Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation under
contract with the Department for Commercialization and Innovation.
The goal of the
ICC Program is to increase the probability of our client’s success –
success being defined as creating and funding Kentucky-based high
growth, technology-based businesses. While measuring success based on
clients attaining ICC protocol milestones is one measure of process
efficiency, the most significant measure of success is the number of
companies receiving external investments. We work with our clients to
overcome this “gap” in funding to help companies get off the lab bench
and into the marketplace.
