Innovation Connector Presents International Award to Delaware County Commissioners

At the May 5th, 2025, Delaware County Commissioners Meeting, a moment of international significance was shared with the local community. Ted Baker, Executive Director and CEO of the Innovation Connector, presented the Commissioners with a duplicate of the prestigious Soft Landings Designation of the Year award, recently received at the International Business Innovation Association (InBIA) Annual Conference in Philadelphia, PA.

This recognition is not only a milestone for the Innovation Connector—it marks the organization’s first international award, a testament to the growing global reach and impact of Muncie and Delaware County’s business development efforts.

The Soft Landings Designation of the Year is awarded to only one organization among InBIA’s global network of certified Soft Landings locations. This honor celebrates the Innovation Connector’s outstanding support of foreign business entities as they seek to launch or expand operations in our region.

During the meeting, Baker expressed his gratitude to the Delaware County Commissioners, noting that their longstanding support was instrumental in achieving the Soft Landings designation to begin with. The duplicate trophy serves as a symbol of that partnership—a physical reminder that global success often starts with local collaboration.

As the Innovation Connector continues to attract and assist international businesses, this award highlights not only what has been accomplished but what is possible when community leaders and innovation ecosystems work hand-in-hand.
