Every Friday entrepreneurs and innovators at the University of Maryland will not have far to go for help.
The Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute (Mtech) and the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship recently launched Innovation Fridays, a collection of signature resources now available across the entire campus for entrepreneurs and innovators.
Innovation Fridays combines the Dingman Center’s successful Pitch Dingman program with Mtech’s broad-reaching Innovation Office Hours and Entrepreneur Office Hours. Both programs will be available from 11 a.m.-1p.m. every Friday throughout the year.
“Innovation Fridays builds on five years of Pitch Dingman and five years of Entrepreneur Office Hours, two programs that have helped thousands of budding student, faculty, and regional entrepreneurs,” said Dean Chang, director of Mtech’s Venture Programs, in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and Elana Fine, managing director of the Dingman Center in the Robert H. Smith School of Business, in a joint statement. “We are now linking those signature programs together to ensure that anyone on campus seeking help with making their ideas a reality can get assistance each and every Friday at multiple locations across campus.”
Innovation Fridays aligns with UMD’s growing commitment to creating a university-wide culture of entrepreneurship and its strategic priority of creating 100 new companies over the next decade.
A full schedule of locations and a list of resources is available at The Innovation Fridays website.
