UConn’s SBDC Champion Puts Spotlight on AI, Funding, and International Growth
The University of Connecticut’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) just welcomed a new leader with a powerful vision for local entrepreneurs. The new champion steps in with a clear agenda: secure better funding, boost AI adoption, and expand international trade opportunities for Connecticut’s small businesses.
As the new head of UConn’s SBDC, they believe the badge is more than a title—it’s a bridge connecting business smarts and academic expertise. Their approach focuses on hands-on support for small business owners, from navigating the world of venture capital to embracing the latest in artificial intelligence. In a world where technology and global markets change faster than Connecticut weather, this leader isn’t just keeping up—they’re setting the pace.
Building Bridges Between Business and Education
They see the SBDC-UConn badge as the “best of both worlds.” By linking real-world business challenges with UConn’s academic resources, the new SBDC leader aims to spark growth and innovation. Whether you’re dreaming of getting your product on shelves overseas or want to make AI your business partner (minus the robot uprising), they’ve got your back.
It’s inspiring to see someone so fired up about making small businesses bigger, bolder, and more global. If only we could get them to automate our morning coffee runs, too!
