Innovation and entrepreneurship (“I&E”) is an engine which increasingly powers student success, recruits top talent, attracts major donations, and heightens the impact of faculty researchers. Many individuals across the University of Colorado system, particularly in recent decades, have embraced new ventures and entrepreneurial thinking as ways to unleash the university’s potential to translate its best insights into favorable social and economic impact for Colorado, the nation, and the world.
