UNC fosters innovation through its Entrepreneurship Center, offering resources like the UNC Startup Accelerator and the Carolina Angel Network to help early-stage ventures grow.
- This program provides startups with business support and entrepreneurial fellows with direct experiences translating scientific, technological and social-driven ideas into the market.
- The KickStart Grant-Awards Program helps early-stage companies meet commercial milestones, either on the technical side (prototype development, animal studies) or on the business side (regulatory pathway, market opportunity).
- The E(I) Lab is an experiential program that brings together graduate students, professional students and postdocs from diverse disciplines across UNC to conceive, develop and test innovative solutions to unmet needs in healthcare.
