The Pantheon, a Vincennes-based entrepreneurship and coworking organization, reports expanded programming and business growth during 2025.  A news release recapping 2025 says there has been increased participation from entrepreneurs, students, and community members across Knox County.

According to the organization, more than 100 programs and events were hosted throughout the year, drawing over 1,200 attendees. Those events included business training sessions, networking opportunities, youth entrepreneurship initiatives, and industry-specific showcases.

Two businesses that began as coworking members completed transitions into their own brick-and-mortar locations during the year. Ice Design Studio expanded from a shared workspace into an independent office and hired its first employee. TimelySoles also moved from a home-based operation into a physical location with a full team.

“Being able to offer over 100 programs and events to our community is something we are incredibly proud of,” said Kimberly Fourman, director of programming and development at the Pantheon. “We’ve celebrated innovation, supported entrepreneurs at every stage, and seen firsthand what happens when a community invests in people and ideas.”

The Pantheon also reported activity in agricultural technology during 2025, including support for the launch of TerraForce and an ag-tech showcase that featured an autonomous farming demonstration.

Youth entrepreneurship efforts expanded as well, with more than 100 high school students from several area schools participating in a new program focused on idea development and pitch preparation. The program concluded with a competitive pitch event, with several teams receiving funding to advance their business concepts.

Looking ahead, the Pantheon says planning is underway for additional business support, workforce development, and technology-focused programming in 2026.
