Venture Forward Kennebunk, developed by Northeastern University’s Roux Institute, is a cohort-based initiative designed to support local entrepreneurs, business leaders, and small business owners. The program equips participants with the tools to scale their ventures, explore new markets, and build long-term sustainability through hands-on workshops, mentorship, and access to emerging technologies. Beyond business growth, Venture Forward creates a collaborative network where participants connect with peers, learn from industry experts, and strengthen their role in Kennebunk’s economic future. The program culminates in this Showcase, where business owners present their ventures and share the progress they’ve made, celebrating innovation and community impact. Lunch will be provided.
The Roux Institute offers a bold, new, partnership-driven model of education, research, and entrepreneurship for the AI-driven economy.
