GO TOPEKA TO CELEBRATE RIBBON CUTTING OF LINK INNOVATION LABS

Topeka, KS —GO Topeka will officially celebrate the opening of Link Innovation Labs with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, February 9, 2026 from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., marking a major milestone in Topeka’s growing innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Located in the heart of Topeka’s Innovation District, Link Innovation Labs is an just over 17,000-square-foot innovation hub designed to support startups, researchers, small businesses, and industry partners through flexible lab and office space, coworking areas, conference rooms, and a dedicated pitch and event space. The facility will serve as a central gathering place for collaboration, commercialization, and new business growth.

“Link Innovation Labs represents a bold investment in Topeka’s future,” said Stephanie Moran, SVP of Innovation for the GO Topeka. “This space was designed to help innovators link to the right partners, build strong ideas and businesses, and launch the next generation of solutions that will drive economic growth in our region.”
The development of Link Innovation Labs reflects Topeka’s increasing momentum within the Animal Health Corridor and its growing role as a destination for innovation across agtech, biotech, and advanced manufacturing.

“Link Innovation Labs is a powerful example of how our community continues to invest in long-term opportunity,” said Molly Howey, CEO of the Greater Topeka Partnership. “By creating a space where entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry leaders can come together, we are strengthening Topeka’s position as a place where innovation, talent, and business thrive.”

The ribbon cutting will include brief remarks, a ceremonial ribbon cutting, guided tours of the facility, and opportunities for attendees to connect with community leaders, partners, and innovators who will call Link Innovation Labs home.

Link Innovation Labs is part of GO Topeka’s broader strategy to strengthen the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, support business formation and expansion, and create high-quality jobs throughout Topeka and Shawnee County.
