Partnership

Since 2018, Point Positive and Clarkson University have joined forces to present this annual workshop series to residents throughout the Adirondacks and NY’s North Country. The delivery of the program is led by staff at Clarkson’s Shipley Center for Innovation and Point Positive who are experienced entrepreneurs in their own right, have taught courses in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Clarkson and been working with entrepreneurs for years.

This workshop series is made possible by the generous support of NYS Empire State Development and the Adirondack Foundation.
