Big gummy bear hugs to Wes Saber and HARIBO of America, Inc. for their incredible service on the KIN board—because making a difference is always sweeter with a little fun! From smart strategies to sweet success, Wes has been serving up leadership with the same excellence that Haribo brings to the candy aisle. Thank you for your dedication, wisdom, and, of course, for keeping things bear-y exciting! We appreciate you more than kids love Goldbears (which is saying a lot). Wishing you all the best—may your next board adventure be just as sweet and full of joy! #KINnovation Georgia Tottas Kelly Armstrong

Why Mid-Sized Cities Are the Future of Innovation For too long, startup growth has been concentrated in a handful of cities. But the real opportunity? It’s happening in mid-sized cities with the right infrastructure, talent pipeline, and cost advantages. That’s why we’re building KIC—a launchpad for Wisconsin’s next generation of founders. The next billion-dollar company? It won’t just come from Silicon Valley—it’ll come from places that invest in entrepreneurs where they are. Let’s create a new playbook for innovation. Who’s in? ??#KINnovation #Entrepreneurship #SmartGrowth #RegionalInnovation #Founders #Startups

Great opportunity!!

The Power of Place-Based Innovation Innovation districts aren’t just about real estate—they’re about people, ideas, and access. When you cluster entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors in a single hub, breakthroughs happen faster. At Kenosha Innovation Center, we’re building an ecosystem where high-growth startups and industry leaders collide. Collaboration isn’t an option—it’s the expectation. ?? What makes an innovation district successful? Talent, capital, and culture. #EconomicDevelopment #InnovationDistrict #StartupEcosystem #Founders #KINnovation
