Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Jeremy Qualls, Executive Director of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center at Williamson County Schools, who discusses the center's growth and success. Established seven years ago, the center initially had 72 students but now has 270 with a long waitlist. The program offers a unique, non-traditional education experience, exposing students to real-world entrepreneurship, including interactions with venture capitalists, mentors, and angel investors. Students spend one period a day at the center, learning through hands-on experiences and collaborations. Mentors include leaders from business, tech, medical and other industries in the community and specialists like a patent attorney.Jeremy Qualls next highlights their pitch process where the student entrepreneurs compete for a grant, which is 100% funded by private donations. He mentions that the winner gets an opportunity to submit to Chicago and that they have had several students make the top 20 in the past. He shares the success story of Anthony Beckett, who created an educational technology product called Markify, which won the IncubatorEdu National Pitch Competition last July and already has gained 12,000 users worldwide. Jeremy mentions that Markify is now looking for angel investment to hire someone to market and sell the product.Jeremy Qualls then discusses the success of a current student, Abby Goddard, who created Spikey, a spiked drink detection keychain. Abby was selected as the winner of their local Shark Tank this year. She recently fulfilled an order for 800 units.Jeremy then introduces The Innovation Hub, a project funded by a grant from the State of Tennessee for vocational education. The Innovation Hub, which will be a 25,000 square foot facility, aims to shift the traditional educational model and create innovative partnerships. He discusses the new vocational pathways being introduced at the central facility. The aviation program, in partnership with Franklin Special School District and Hawkins Flight Academy, allows students to obtain a private pilot license at 16. The program also includes a partnership with MTSU, providing up to 12 hours of college credit. The entrepreneurial program, in partnership with Thompson Caterpillar, offers two post-secondary programs: heavy machine technology and electrical power generation. These programs are designed to provide direct-to-work opportunities and matriculate into post-secondary institutions. The Innovation Hub also will focus on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and hospitality, with a culinary arts program being the largest requested CTE program. The Innovation Hub will include a mock hotel lobby, a work-based learning site with Honest Coffee, and more. The project is expected to be completed by August 2026 for the start of the 2026-2027 school year.Jeremy Qualls wraps up discussing the importance of partnerships in workforce development, particularly in the Middle Tennessee region. He emphasizes the need for business partners with a desire for a return on investment in the form of a future workforce. He also mentions the need for more partners offering apprenticeships or internships, and the possibility of in-kind donations.

Open Innovation gehört zu den ältesten Methoden, um Innovation voranzutreiben. Trotzdem lohnt es sich immer wieder, einen frischen Blick darauf zu werfen – vor allem, wie Unternehmen diese Methode heute leben.In dieser Podcast-Folge haben wir dafür ein besonders spannendes Beispiel: Zeiss, eines der führenden Industrieunternehmen Europas, weltweit bekannt für die Zusammenarbeit mit ASML und den legendären Spiegel, der in Chip-Herstellungsmaschinen zum Einsatz kommt. Doch Zeiss hat noch eine andere, bemerkenswerte Seite: einen einzigartigen Zugang zum Thema Innovation.Dr. Max Riedel leitet sein Büro und Team direkt auf dem Campus des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT). Von dort aus sucht er gezielt nach Ideen aus der Studierendenschaft und aus der Spitzenforschung, die für Zeiss relevant sein könnten. Im Gespräch erzählt er nicht nur von erfolgreichen Projekten, sondern auch von Vorhaben, die gescheitert sind – und warum gerade diese Erfahrungen oft die wertvollsten sind.Herausgekommen ist ein offenes und erfrischend transparentes Gespräch über Innovationsprozesse in der Industrie. Für alle, die wissen wollen, wie man Open Innovation im Unternehmenskontext wirklich lebt, ist dies eines der besten Beispiele.Ich habe das Gespräch sehr genossen – und hoffe, ihr könnt daraus ebenso viel mitnehmen.

Frontier IP Group PLC CEO Neil Crabb talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's new strategic partnership with Abstract Securities. The partnership will see Frontier IP serve as the anchor tenant in a newly developed science centre in Cambridge, occupying 18,000 square feet of a 140,000 square foot facility. Crabb explained that the move is designed to support portfolio and startup companies by providing world-class facilities and access to Frontier IP's wider ecosystem of partners and investors. He noted: "By having this focal point plugged into an ecosystem already interested in our clusters, you get an acceleration for the companies that are located there." With lab space in Cambridge at 97% occupancy, Frontier IP aims to address the supply-demand imbalance while offering specifications suited to high-end research needs. Crabb highlighted the added benefits of consolidating companies in one location, fostering collaboration, and reducing startup friction. He emphasised that even companies not physically based at the centre would still benefit from the enriched ecosystem through events and investor engagement opportunities. Drawing from previous successful initiatives at its Duxford site and in Portugal, the company plans more regular interactions and showcases. Crabb said, "You can't sell to customers that don't know you exist... this is a way of helping you to get that." He added that the new centre could eventually host regular showcases every six to twelve months, further enhancing visibility for the startups. Updates from the broader portfolio were also shared. Alusid recently secured a second European distributor and is expanding its commercial presence. 2D Photonics raised significant new funding for scaling operations. Frontier IP is also monitoring potential developments from Pulsiv and other companies nearing commercial rollout stages. For more interviews and updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

An initiative which helps innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI)-focused scaleup companies to maximise their full commercial potential is now open for 2025 applications. The 6-month programme, delivered by the University of Edinburgh, will widen its selection process this year, to encourage a broader range of scaleups from tech-focused companies to benefit from a package of support aimed at helping transform their businesses into world-leading companies. The AI Accelerator has a strong track record of supporting innovative businesses and, this year, will be joined by Daniel Winterstein as Technical Entrepreneur in Residence. A PhD graduate at the University of Edinburgh and co-founder of ethical ad-tech company Good-Loop, Daniel will offer technical guidance and mentorship as part of the Accelerator's wider support network. Daniel Winterstein comments, "As the only UK city to be named an AI leader, it's fair to say that we have a real opportunity here and I am so excited to meet the cohort. Access to capital and talent are their biggest barriers to growth in the UK and we want to support them to overcome these challenges with our programme so that as a city and a university we can continue to lead the way with AI." The programme, delivered by the University of Edinburgh's world-leading Innovation Hub for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, the Bayes Centre in collaboration with Edinburgh Innovations, will feature monthly in-person workshops complemented by additional activities delivered online and two trips to London. The AI Accelerator gives companies a platform to shape their investment strategies and connect with potential investors. Participants also take part in expert-led workshops covering pricing, leadership, and scaling - all designed to drive commercial growth. The University of Edinburgh is home to the largest centres for computing science and informatics in Europe. Through access to its academic expertise and links into the Data- Driven Innovation hubs, AI Accelerator participants will also benefit from collaboration and business exposure opportunities. Among last year's participants were Chirrup, a business that helps landholders to thrive with biodiversity, by providing sensors and reporting tools that show the level of natural capital they already have. Gaining clarity on their "bullseye target" at the AI accelerator enabled Chirrup to concentrate their efforts on food processor intermediaries. This focused approach facilitated the development of marketing and sales tools specifically crafted to address these clients' unique challenges and maximise value. Dr. Murray Collins, CEO, Space Intelligence who participated in the 2021 cohort commented, "The programme introduced us to the different skills needed to grow a business over and above our academic and technical ability. As a result, we have grown significantly, including raising investment at seed and Series A stages from with investment from global name entities like Equinor and Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE), owners of the New York Stock Exchange. "Since the Accelerator, we've publicly worked with major clients, such as Shell and Apple, and won several funding competitions that have helped to solidify our position as a leading player in this space." Katy Guthrie, Programme Manager of the AI Accelerator, said: "AI is having a profoundly positive impact on companies and their growth across the globe and through our programme we are helping transform innovative start-ups into world-leading companies and supporting wider economic growth. Space Intelligence is just one example of the success that can be achieved, and we are inviting startups and scaleups from tech-businesses across the globe to join us. "We've also decided to open our selection process to encourage a broader range of businesses to benefit, and we'll be refocusing on scaleups with products that are ready to make an impact." Pre-qualifications close at 12 noon on Wed 14th May, and...

The initiative is part of SETU's TU RISE programme, designed to strengthen regional enterprise by connecting businesses with university expertise and support. As the only university in the region, SETU is committed to driving research and innovation that delivers real impact. Station House is the first of four rural innovation hubs being developed under TU RISE, creating dedicated spaces for enterprise owners to engage with SETU and its partners. The hub will provide opportunities to develop key skills in areas such as innovation, digitalisation, succession planning, and sustainability. Brian Ogilvie, Head of Entrepreneurship and Rural Engagement at SETU, said: "This initiative offers business owners outside of the main urban areas access to SETU's expertise and support. The hub will play an instrumental role in empowering the area, equipping it with the necessary tools and skills for sustainable growth. SETU is committed to working with industry, ensuring that regional businesses can leverage cutting-edge research and enterprise support to help grow their business." By bringing together university resources, partner organisations, and the expertise of local business owners, Station House will serve as a key asset to the local community. Professor Marie Claire Van Hout, Vice President for Research, Innovation and Impact at SETU, highlighted the hub's role in supporting economic growth: "This endeavour aligns with SETU's mission to drive progress, nurture economic growth, and elevate the competitiveness of the region. Station House is the first of four rural-based hubs which SETU is developing under the TU-RISE initiative in the South East region. SETU's experience in fostering rural innovation has shown that these hubs are more than just spaces; they are catalysts for economic growth, equipping micro, small, and medium enterprises with the skills, technology, and networks needed to compete in an increasingly fast-paced global economy." Station House has been developed through a partnership approach, bringing together key stakeholders to support rural enterprise. Coilín O'Reilly, Chief Executive of Carlow County Council, said: "Enterprise spaces and rural hubs are crucial for fostering entrepreneurship and economic resilience. Carlow County Council is proud to deliver this project in partnership with Carlow Community Enterprise Centres CLG, with funding from the Town & Village Renewal Scheme. This investment has also enabled an exciting collaboration with TU RISE at South East Technological University, strengthening the support ecosystem for enterprise development. Station House is a flagship example of how strategic partnerships can drive meaningful opportunities for rural communities, ensuring businesses have the space, resources, and support to start, scale, and succeed." SETU encourages business owners to take advantage of the opportunities available through Station House and the broader TU RISE initiative. SETU TU RISE is co-financed by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27.

Running a farm comes with its fair share of challenges, and it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day. But some of the biggest opportunities for growth come from stepping outside our own operations, connecting with others, and learning from those facing similar challenges. Stronger businesses, smarter decisions, and a more resilient industry all start with farmers coming together and sharing knowledge.    This episode is all about the power of grower groups - why they matter, the impact they have, and why getting involved can be a game-changer for your farm and business.    I'm joined by Pippa Jones, who, alongside her husband, runs a mixed farm near Goondiwindi, QLD. Beyond the farm, Pippa has played a key role in the Macintyre Ag Alliance, helping to drive innovation and support for local farmers. She also works as an extension officer with NSW Local Land Services and represents the Northern NSW Drought and Innovation Hub. On top of that, she's a 2024 Nuffield Scholar, exploring how carbon farming can be both a profitable opportunity for farmers and better supported on a global scale.    Together, in this episode, we explore:  The critical role of grower groups like Macintyre Ag Alliance and the impact they're having in southern Queensland and northern NSW.  Why getting involved in these networks goes far beyond just improving technical farming skills.  How simplifying your farm business model can give you the time and space to pursue off-farm interests, leadership roles, and industry impact.  Why we should all back ourselves as leaders, even if we don't see ourselves that way just yet.    At Farm Owners Academy, we're proud to be partnering with Macintyre Ag Alliance and other grower groups across Australia to help farmers connect, learn, and thrive.    If you haven't yet, I encourage you to seek out your local grower groups and engage with your regional drought and innovation hubs-they offer invaluable resources and networks that can help you navigate challenges and future-proof your farm business.    You can access more information about the items discussed in the episode below:    Macintyre Ag Alliance – click here https://www.macintyreagalliance.com/   Drought and Innovation Hubs – click here https://www.agriculture.gov.au/agriculture-land/farm-food-drought/drought/future-drought-fund/research-adoption-program/adoption-innovation-hubs   Nuffield Scholarships – click here https://www.nuffield.com.au/     Pippa, thank you for your time, your insights, and your leadership. I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did.    Keep winning.    Jeremy Hutchings & the Farm Owners Academy Team
