If you are building a startup in Kentucky you might not know this…

There are six innovation hubs that service every county. Instead of competing, they share programs, refer clients across regions, so founders have access to support wherever they live.

Read below to learn how this collaborative model works and how the six-hub system is built to support founders at every stage. 👇https://linknky.com/business/sponsored/2026/04/14/kentucky-innovation-hubs-collaboration/

"We have that type of collaboration that I think is really different than a lot of other places where maybe people compete." — Dave Knox, Blue North Executive Director
