A new business accelerator, launching in partnership with Northern Kentucky University, aims to encourage entrepreneurs to take root in Greater Cincinnati.

Called UpTech, the nonprofit accelerator will fund 50 early-stage informatics companies, investing up to $100,000 in each. Companies must apply for the program and go through a submission process. Each round, completed over the next three to five years, will have 10 companies as winners. A panel of national informatics, futurists, business and investment experts from leading companies such as CBS    , Cisco    , Dell    and Procter & Gamble    will serve as the contest judges, according to a press release.
