This Strategic Plan paves CIE’s path for supporting UNCW faculty, staff, student, and community success from 2023-2025. To develop a focused approach, conversations with UNCW leadership, regional entrepreneurs, volunteers, and partners occurred throughout 2022.
At CIE we believe:
- Entrepreneurship unleashes human potential.
- Everyone should have access to succeed through entrepreneurship.
- Through entrepreneurship and innovation, community and global problems will be solved.
- We are stronger together.
CIE is a distinct academic ecosystem. We attract changemakers and dreamers, the inquisitive and curious, and those who have the mindset to control their destiny. Among those engaged are UNCW faculty and staff, UNCW students, community entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, programmers, scientists, youth, and retirees. CIE serves as a UNCW-community connector, whether it is for student success or entrepreneurial success.
