NC State University Entrepreurship

Our Mission

Through the EI, individual entrepreneurial projects and programs throughout the university unite to provide students with top-tier resources and opportunities. The Entrepreneurship Initiative (EI) at NC State encourages multi-disciplinary participation on every level – faculty, staff, industry and outreach partners, and most importantly, students.  The EI was formed in July 2008 in response to the Chancellor’s call to “develop an educated and entrepreneurial work force.” By organizing and energizing its efforts through the EI, NC State will provide a comprehensive springboard for ideas, projects, and partnerships. By leveraging its core strengths in science, engineering, and technology, NC State will develop entrepreneurial solutions to society’s current problems and future needs.
