The Kansas Opportunity Innovation Network

The Advanced Manufacturing Institute (AMI) at Kansas State University and its state and regional partners in partnership with the US Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) are building the Kansas Opportunity Innovation Network (KOIN).

The KOIN initiative will help businesses and communities build networks to connect to opportunities in order to significantly multiply the capability of Kansas businesses to innovate and grow in rural and isolated areas.

The network will act as an opportunity catalyst, boundary spanner, and connector for rural and/or distressed Kansas companies, communities, and regions wishing to compete in regional, national, and global markets with innovative technology-based goods and services.
