Season 4, Episode 8 - We recently introduced you to some of the folks at the Stourbridge Project in Honesdale – it’s a business incubator with a coworking space, prototyping lab and in a Keystone Innovation Zone which means the tech startups are getting a hand up to build their businesses right here in the Pocono Mountains. And one of the biggest partners in that effort is some 50 miles away on the campus of East Stroudsburg University, it’s the ESU Innovation Center and it features 25 companies doing amazing things that will grow the economy here in the Poconos which is the focus of this week’s ESU Economic Outlook Summit at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions.
