The CTSBDC: An essential element of a larger vision

The Connecticut SBDC is a part of a comprehensive network of efforts that will boost the economy of the state.  For instance, the University of Connecticut was selected to operate one of four Innovation Ecosystem/CTNext hub statewide. Also, after years of planning, the University of Connecticut unveiled the Technology Park.  The Technology Park will provide a major link between entrepreneurial discovery and existing businesses. It is a critical thread in the fabric stretching across the state, with much being woven through the intellectual and physical structures of the university.
