Happy Holidays from the Hub

As we reflect on an incredible year of growth and creativity, we at the Kricker Innovation Hub want to wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season.

Here in Portsmouth, Ohio, innovation is thriving. From the ambitious entrepreneurs who brought their dreams to life through programs like Ignite Portsmouth to the groundbreaking gaming startups in the ShawneeXP Game Accelerator, this community is buzzing with energy and potential.

In 2024, we witnessed remarkable achievements:

New businesses launched and expanded through Ignite Portsmouth. ShawneeXP helped talented game developers turn bold ideas into market-ready projects. Collaborations between startups, students, and mentors flourished, strengthening Portsmouth’s tech and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

None of this would be possible without you—our supporters, participants, and partners. Thank you for being part of this journey as we continue building a brighter future for Portsmouth and beyond.

As we head into the new year, let’s celebrate the innovation and resilience of our community. Here’s to more success, creativity, and collaboration in 2024!

(PS - The Hub will be closed from Saturday, December 21st until we reopen on Monday, January 6th for Holiday Break).

From all of us at the Hub, Happy Holidays and best wishes for a prosperous New Year!

Warmest regards,

The Staff of the SSU Kricker Innovation Hub
