The Central Region Ecosystem for Arts, Technology, and Entrepreneurship (CREATE) is a non-profit organization headquartered at the Western Kentucky University Innovation Campus in Bowling Green, Kentucky–with additional offices in Elizabethtown and, soon, Owensboro.

CREATE’s mission is to foster an innovation environment that brings collaborators together across stakeholder groups to share their networks, design and test new ideas, commercialize proven solutions, and grow those solutions here.

CREATE provides those collaborators with connections, concepts, commercialization support, and space to support the growth of innovative projects—all aimed at providing opportunities for talented people to achieve their potential, individually and collectively, in this region. Our success is ultimately measured in opportunities and jobs.

CREATE is an Innovation Hub for KY Innovation, a division of the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, and is also supported by WKU;  the City of Bowling Green;  Warren County, KY;  Hardin County, KY; and the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce.
