Dream a Little Dream For Your State’s Economy — It Might Come True

Kentucky university develops eight programs geared toward teaching and financing entrepreneurship.

One Mid-Western school’s dream is another school’s reality when it comes to venturing to improve their states’ economies.

Northern Kentucky University has dreamed up a plan that will consist of eight programs geared toward teaching and funding entrepreneurship, supporting existing knowledge-based firms, establishing a software-development think tank, as well as other programs designed to cultivate business-minded creativity from the 85% of Kentucky’s college graduates that stay in the Bluegrass State.

"When you have a university thinking consistently about the economy, it really sets our region apart from other parts of the state," Steve Stevens, senior vice president of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce said.
