KEC

Knoxville Entrepreneur Center is a business accelerator built in 2013 to serve as a bridge for entrepreneurs in East Tennessee. Since opening, KEC has been a "center of gravity, without being the center of attention" in our entrepreneurial ecosystem... At KEC, we spend our time (like, all of our time) thinking about and working with entrepreneurs. Our goal is to get you started, help you grow, and to connect you with folks in the community who want to see that happen. We are committed to developing the ecosystem and providing a welcoming environment for all types of entrepreneurs and makers... Since opening, KEC has established strong relationships with many institutions and organizations that also provide entrepreneur-facing services in the region. Those include the Knoxville Area Chamber, the Knoxville Area Urban League, Innovation Valley Partnership, Tech 2020, the UT Research Foundation, the UT Anderson Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, TVA, the regional Small Business..
