Kyle Tschepikow

Executive Director for Business Engagement and Innovation

Kyle Tschepikow spends his days connecting. He connects with people—students, faculty, and leaders in business, government, and nonprofits—and then connects them with others.

Since President Morehead launched the Innovation District initiative in 2018, Dr. Tschepikow has been part of a cross-campus team that brings together internal and external partners to make UGA’s entrepreneurship ecosystem more vibrant, visible, and accessible.

Today, the Innovation District offers a broad range of spaces, programs, and services to help translate ideas and inventions into solutions, products, and business ventures.

The Innovation District has been building powerful coalitions that advance the University’s mission. Together, we’re driving innovation and spurring economic activity in our community and beyond.
