GAME Change

This time last week, the GAME Change team - Rob Coleman (UTK), Ian D. McClure (UK), Landon Borders (UK), Connie Prostko-Bell (All4, Inc.), and Eric Hartman (UK)—wrapped up an impactful experience at the National Science Foundation (NSF) ROADMAP Summit. The event was filled with engaging conversations, meaningful connections and the opportunity to showcase three of our key concepts: the GAME Change Startup Engine, Resource Recovery Marketplace and the Technology and Talent Scale Center (TTSC). It was an inspiring way to close out 2024 and set the stage for an even more ambitious 2025. Looking forward to what’s next! #Innovation #NSF #GAMEChange #ResourceRecovery #StartupEcosystem #Technology #Sustainability #Collaboration #CircularEconomy #FutureForward

Over the past year, GAME Change has been hard at work developing the Resource Recovery Marketplace (RRM)—a vital need identified during our first Workshop and Summit to support regional sustainability and innovation. 🌟 At our third Workshop and Summit, Middle Tech interviewed GAME Change partners to highlight the importance of the RRM and its potential to transform our region. Today and tomorrow, the GAME Change team is proud to showcase this work at the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s ROADMAP Summit, offering a demonstration of how the RRM can drive impactful change. 📽️ Watch the video to learn more about the Resource Recovery Marketplace and how it can benefit our region. https://lnkd.in/egm39s9v #ResourceRecovery #Sustainability #RegionalInnovation #GAMEChange #NSFROADMAP
