The Fifth Third Bank Entrepreneurship Institute has established the Williamstown Innovation Center for the rural region of Northern Kentucky. This Innovation Center is one of six rural IC offices connected to a network of 6 regional ICC offices throughout the state of Kentucky.

ICC/ICs are public/private partnerships that will assist the state’s entrepreneurs to commercialize technologies that demonstrate significant market potential. The IC program acts as a funnel for ideas, taking them from a rough stage and applying a commercialization standard to shape them into viable business prospects for investors.

The goal of the IC Program is to:

Assist rural communities with economic and community development.
Prepare rural communities for the a “Knowledge-based” economy.
Provide business and entrepreneurial training.
Assist in developing investment grade technology companies in Kentucky.
Serve as a catalyst for a state-wide capital network.
Increase quality deal flow of technology-based firms in Kentucky.
Increase understanding of start-up process and investment practices.
