July K-State 105 newsletter

A message from the director

In our startup year, K-State 105 has been dedicated to building an ecosystem for economic prosperity across all 105 counties in Kansas. We have supported numerous projects that drive economic prosperity and foster community development. As we move forward, we are continuing to build partnerships and enhance community prosperity through new projects and initiatives.

One such initiative is the K-State 105 Entrepreneurial Blueprint Initiative, which you can read more about below. By leveraging the extensive network of NetWork Kansas and the expertise of K-State Research and Extension, we aim to foster economic growth and community development across Kansas.

Learn more about the initiative and how to apply for funding on the K-State 105 website.

Best regards,

Jessica Gnad

Director, K-State 105
