KelLogg Initiatives:
Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The Kellogg Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiative kicked off in 2012 with the vision to help businesses find new ways to create value. The game plan called for three tracks: “New Venture Creation,” “Middle-Market Growth” and “Corporate Innovation.” The first track debuted last fall with 10 new courses, 10 new adjunct faculty members, 22 new internship opportunities, and 11 new student and alumni events around the Chicago area.

Next up: middle markets. This segment, which includes privately held companies and family business, makes up one-third of all private sector GDP, according to the National Center for the Middle Market.

Here, Kellogg spotlights alumni who have brought growth and scale to their midsize family businesses.
