Welcome

The EKU Business and Technology Accelerator is a university-based Incubator that has been in operation for more than 5 years. Business Incubation is defined as “a business support process that accelerates the successful development of start-up and fledgling companies by providing entrepreneurs with an array of targeted resources and services.” At EKU, we provide low-cost office space combined with coaching and resources to help entrepreneurs grow successful companies in Kentucky.

Choosing to enter an Accelerator Program is an important decision in the life of your business. When you enter the EKU Business Accelerator Program, you are gaining access to a network of coaches that have experience in helping people create successful companies. Our primary goal is to generate sound businesses that leave our program able to continue to grow and thrive in Kentucky. We leverage the networks and services of the KY Innovation Network Office at EKU, CEDET, and the EKU Small Business Development Center to provide our clients with the expertise they need to grow their business.  We are a member of the National Business Incubation Association (www.nbia.org).

The Accelerator is located in the Business & Technology Center building on EKU’s Richmond campus on the Lake-level in the College of Business and Technology.  If you would like to learn more about our program, please speak with one of our staff (bizaccelerator.eku.edu/people).
