Welcome to the University of Kentucky Economic Development Collaborative (EDC), where we believe that economic development is crucial to the success and prosperity of Kentucky.
The University of Kentucky Economic Development Collaborative (EDC) is made up of faculty and staff from across campus, along with partners who work in city economic development, who each play a role in strengthening Kentucky’s economy. Whether advancing talent, innovation, place-based partnerships, or broader economic engagement, the EDC provides a shared space to connect, align, and amplify these efforts—ensuring they are coordinated and effectively communicated to drive meaningful impact.
