UA to mark National Entrepreneurship Week with idea exchange

11/18/2010

The College of Business Administration will host the Entrepreneur’s Idea Exchange meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 18 at the college. See more about the exchange.

The event falls during National Entrepreneurship Week, which honors entrepreneurs for their role in powering the engine of our nation’s economy.

“These intrepid individuals translate their vision into products and services that keep America strong and competitive on a global scale, and build opportunity and prosperity across our country,” reads a proclamation from President Barack Obama.

At The University of Akron, the entrepreneurial spirit manifests itself in numerous ways. Most recently, the University of Akron Research Foundation and the Austen BioInnovation Institute in Akron recently named one of six recipients nationwide to receive $1 million funding from the i6 Challenge.
