Entrepreneurship is the key to economic development regionally, nationally, and internationally in a time when many traditional manufacturing industries have closed.
With this in mind, the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation exists to stimulate and commercialize new ideas and create new ventures in the region.
The College of Business’ newest and most exciting center, the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, is run by a faculty & staff of entrepreneurs who continue to face the challenges of growing an entrepreneurial venture in the face of increasing competition.
Through academic programs the Center offers you practical hands-on education in entrepreneurship and service-learning activities within the community and the region.
The Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation can provide you with the skills necessary to think creatively, to successfully launch your own businesses, or to support an employer in launching and growing an entrepreneurial venture.
In business education, there is no topic more vital than entrepreneurship, and this Center thrusts Western Carolina University into the forefront of education in entrepreneurship.
