NC State University enitiativeCatalyzing Entrepreneurship Statewide
Our vision is very simple, to be the most entrepreneurial university, anywhere.
The purpose is to provide entrepreneurial education, technical assistance and training for businesses across the State, creating and retaining jobs in urban and rural communities. "For the United States to survive and continue its economic and political leadership in the world, we must see entrepreneurship as our central comparative advantage. Nothing else can give us the necessary leverage to remain an economic superpower.” (Carl Schramm, President Kauffman Foundation)
