TOPEKA — Collaboration in the Midwest is just a call away, said Romaine Redman. It’s a reality that sets the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem apart, he added, and a heartland trait that seeds Topeka’s Plug and Play accelerator with the potential for international impact.
“I pick up the phone and I call someone, and they’re here and ready to go,” explained Redman, chief innovation and strategy officer for the Kansas Department of Commerce. “That is a very powerful tool, a very powerful thing that we have here in the Midwest. That is what is driving us forward.”
