It’s been an absolutely incredible week here at the Launch Pad! Big thank you to the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce for hosting the Partnership for Success meeting here with our partners the Show-Me Network efactory & Missouri Technology Corporation. It’s also always a blast to showcase AICE and their innovation, and we couldn’t be more thrilled that their HQ is right here at the Launch Pad. Stay tuned! This is just the beginning. 🚀
