Launching a new business can be a daunting challenge, even for individuals who have the knowledge and resources required to succeed, much less for students who are just finding their entrepreneurial way.

IEI has established a student incubator to assist students in developing new businesses. The student incubator provides a supportive environment where students’ new entrepreneurial start-up businesses are nurtured by expert faculty and staff members.

For a nominal fee, students receive use of

• fully-equipped office space and office equipment

• on-going training & coaching

• technical assistance

• access to capital

• use of meeting rooms

• professional help in launching their own businesses.

Students have the advantage of interacting with others who are working on emerging companies as well.
