A Note From

Alex Day

The Sheltowee Network works with amazing companies. We want to introduce you to some of our portfolio of entrepreneurs and successful companies they have started.

Company Highlight Metals Innovation Initiative

The Metals Innovation Initiative, (MI2), is a Kentucky-based nonprofit that provides collaborative, industryled executive leadership to attract and promote advanced research, sustainability, commercialization and talent development in Kentucky’s metals industry–and, ultimately, for Kentucky to be seen as the preeminent destination for metals innovation.

Kentucky’s metals sector has grown to become one of the state’s most substantial industries, composed of more than 230 facilities across the Commonwealth and responsible for approximately 25,000 full-time jobs.

MI2 was founded by some of Kentucky’s leading metals companies with support from the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development’s KY Innovation. The launch was supported by Western Kentucky University, the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation, AccelerateKY and other support organizations.

To learn more about MI2, you can visit their Konexons profile or their website here.
