Innovation in Connecticut Documentary

September 25, 2024

Co-Managing Partner of Cantor Colburn Michael Cantor is interviewed in “Innovation in Connecticut,” a new feature documentary from UConn’s Werth Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. “Innovation in Connecticut” will premiere Sept. 25, 2024, on Connecticut public television and will be available to stream online. Watch the trailer here.

UConn president Radenka Maric initiated the project, led by Werth Institute director David Noble, and directed by Werth associate research professor Zeljko Mirkovic. In the 53-minute documentary, Mirkovic says, more than 30 individuals “who are doing phenomenal jobs at the University and beyond” share their stories.  

Other interviewees include Maric; Noble; UConn provost Anne D’Alleva; vice president for research, innovation, and entrepreneurship Pamir Alpay; CEO and Chairman of Biohaven Pharmaceuticals Dr. Vlad Coric; associate professor of history and Connecticut state historian Andy Horowitz; former U.S. Senator Chris Dodd; Governor Ned Lamont; and many more.  

“It’s a story told through the people, it’s a story told through the archives — this is a proof story,” Mirkovic says. “It proves how UConn and Connecticut are bringing new value in innovation, every day.”
