In honor of Dr. David Millhorn's profound legacy, we are proud to announce the dedication of Millhorn Landing at UT Research Park. This serene green space, overlooking the river and historic Cherokee land, serves as a place for mindfulness and reflection—a fitting tribute to a man whose vision shaped the future of research and innovation at UT. We thank the UT Institute for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing for allowing the hosting space. Dr. Millhorn’s leadership not only advanced UT's research partnerships, particularly with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, but also laid the foundation for the creation of the Cherokee Farm Innovation Campus. Now, Millhorn Landing provides a peaceful setting to contemplate the remarkable impact he made. We invite you to visit this special space and take a moment to reflect on the legacy of one of UT’s most transformative leaders.

Looking forward to the rest of the accelerator! What a great start, Spark ✨
The 3rd week of the Spark Cleantech Accelerator has wrapped up, with a focus on sales, go-to-market strategies, and customer discovery. Next week is a well-deserved break—enjoy the downtime, Sparks! Here’s a recap of this week’s highlights: - Day 1 - Ashley Roccapriore and John Bruck delivered insightful sessions on go-to-market strategies and refining value propositions. Day 2 - Carol Seamons led a financial workshop, followed by presentations from Benjamin Nibali on product development and Miles Biggs and Curt Jawdy, PE from Tennessee Valley Authority on innovation priorities and tech collaborations. Day 3 - John Bruck returned for a deeper dive into go-to-market strategies. We were also treated to a surprise talk from Brandon Bruce of the Techstars Industries of the Future Accelerator, followed by Chris McAdoo's energizing session on sales, and a virtual presentation on customer discovery with Micah Kotch from Blackhorn Ventures. - Reminder: No recap next week due to the break. Enjoy the rest, and remember—just 10 weeks until the grand finale!
