Innovation in Connecticut: A Documentary Deep Dive

Connecticut. The Constitution State. Yeah, we’re talking about the place where those crazy cats hammered out the Fundamental Orders way back when. Talk about OG innovators, right? But this little state’s got a knack for groundbreaking stuff that goes way beyond dusty old documents.

Get this: a new documentary, “Innovation in Connecticut,” is here to spill the tea on the Nutmeg State’s legacy of, well, innovation. It’s a wild ride through history, highlighting the big brains and game-changers who put Connecticut on the map and keepin’ it there.

From Humble Beginnings to Powerhouse of Progress

This ain’t no slapped-together YouTube video, folks. We’re talking a legit, minute feature documentary cooked up by the brainiacs at UConn’s Werth Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The mastermind behind this whole shebang? None other than UConn President Radenka Maric, a woman who clearly knows a good thing when she sees it.

Leading the charge are David Noble, the big kahuna at the Werth Institute, and Zeljko Mirkovic, Associate Research Professor and Director – these guys are all about that innovation life. And they didn’t hold back. This documentary is jam-packed with interviews from over thirty movers and shakers from UConn and all over Connecticut, all of ’em doin’ big things and pushin’ boundaries. Think cutting-edge research, entrepreneurial adventures, and straight-up changing the world, one innovation at a time.
