Lebahn shares how her work bridges Go Topeka’s economic development mission with the Plug and Play Topeka accelerator, the growing cohort of startups, and the soon-to-open LINK Innovation Labs facility — set to launch in early 2026.
Recorded live at the Plug and Play Animal Health & AgTech Expo in Topeka, we explore what it means for the Plug and Play cohort to be housed at LINK, how these two worlds come together to support founders, and why this moment feels like a true convergence of vision, place, and community.
