Entrepreneurship and Innovation

The entrepreneurial spirit is what drives all business at its core and that is enhanced by innovation which drives entrepreneurs to excel. At the University of North Florida Coggin College of Business, entrepreneurship and innovation are hallmarks of our philosophy which opens the door of business to all who want to enter.

Blackstone LaunchPad is underway at the UNF Coggin College of Business with the objective of developing a space for students to learn about entrepreneurship in an academic setting.

Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation demonstrates our commitment to our entrepreneurial ecosystem. Launched in 2019, the CEI partners with multiple business experts and practicing professionals on a variety of events and educational programs to develop opportunities for local entrepreneurs.

The Florida Small Business Development Center at UNF has helped thousands upon thousands of entrepreneurs start their own businesses. The reach of the SBDC stretches across 18 North Florida counties and dozens of cities in the region.
