Officials said the program, called the “The 2150 Center for Innovation, Commercialization & Growth,” will serve as an incubator for innovation.

Miles College is launching an innovation center designed to gather entrepreneurs and researchers from around the state beginning this fall.

“We are at the intersection of purpose and prosperity and embrace tradition and innovation as we continue to advance the college ahead for the next 50 years,” Knight said in a statement announcing the initiative. “We are prepared to build a world-class space for researchers and founders, thought leaders and practitioners, businesses, and academia.”

“We are launching a collaborative that will improve economic outcomes by connecting and synergizing a unified community to attract and retain talent, champion workforce development, support researchers and founders, and drive economic empowerment,” he said. The center is part of a series of expanded academic offerings at the college that include additional degrees and graduate school courses for the first time in its 126-year history, officials also announced this week.
