ROCKY hill >> Efforts to bolster Connecticut’s entrepreneurial culture will benefit from a $5 million investment from the state over the next year.
The money from CTNext, the state’s year-old program to build what it calls “an innovation eco-system” will go to 20 companies and organizations, including six from the New Haven area. CTNext was established by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and private sector leaders and is overseen by Connecticut Innovations (CI), which is the state’s quasi-public technology lending agency.
