The Innovation Center reaches beyond Allen County by establishing partnerships with regional entities that possess local knowledge and resources. The local entity benefits from regular access to Innovation Center resources and from co-branding with the Innovation Center.
Two regional nodes have been established to date. A node at the Angola Chamber of Commerce serves Steuben, LaGrange, Noble, and DeKalb counties. Another at the Huntington University Enterprise Resource Center serves Huntington, Wells, Whitley, and Wabash counties. We are investigating the feasibility of a third location that would be serving the orthopaedics cluster in Warsaw and the surrounding area (Pierceton etc...).
The activity at regional nodes will differ depending on each node’s resources and goals. In Huntington, for example, space is available to incubate a small number of ventures and university resources such as interns are available to assist ventures.
