What Can Our Family of Programs Do For You?
Need access to a specific technology or business expertise but not sure where to find it? We can connect you. Have intellectual property questions or want to collaborate with UI faculty researchers? We can help.
Perhaps you need space or technical support to get a fledgling business going? Or you’re already a thriving small business and you need larger accommodations and advice on how to manage your growth? We can guide you.
You may already have fruitful connections to a particular UI college or department and you want to widen your network. We can assist you. Whether you are a member of the University faculty, staff or student body, or part of a start-up or existing business, the IOWA Centers for Enterprise is a valuable resource that can create connections and open doors to innovation, expertise, and entrepreneurship.
