Topeka is located in the heart of the Animal Health Corridor, which spans from Manhattan, Kansas, to Columbia, Missouri. Within the corridor, 300 companies account for 56 percent of total animal health, diagnostics technology and pet food sales worldwide.
Topeka’s new Plug and Play program is the first accelerator dedicated specifically to animal health and agricultural technology and is designed to capitalize not only on regional strengths but also to facilitate global innovation and interaction.
Learn how Topekans collaborated to bring Plug and Play to the capital city and meet two startup founders, a former advertising professional using microbial fermentation to create a new pet protein and a former chemist who is developing biodegradable packaging for the food and beverage industry.
