We want to see the Kentucky’s innovation-driven entrepreneurial economy fueled making the commonwealth a leader in the development of knowledge and its application to people, organizations, and communities.

MISSIONS TO ACHIEVE OUR VISION

ENSURE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE 

HAVE SUPPORT IN PURSUING
ADVANCED OPPORTUNITY

WE BELIEVE

The path to future innovation should be fueled by 

fresh faces, experienced in a background of accelerated, rigorous, and sustained learning in mathematics, science, English and computer science.

Many more students are interested in pursuing STEM related courses if given the right resources, professional development for teachers, mentoring, recruitment, and opportunities as they transition through their academic career.

Today’s economic challenges require radical coordination between people and groups and solutions that scale and sustain.

We are in this for the Commonwealth and know there are no one size fits all solutions.  The long game interests us, we are good at it, and we’re proud of the dozens of projects and programs we have kicked off here in Kentucky.  We measure success in relationships and networks that sustain, and the jobs and opportunities which result.
