Western Michigan University partnered with U-M’s Center for Entrepreneurship to offer a six-week program that helps engineers and scientists think more like entrepreneurs.
The program mobilized five teams of graduate- and post-graduate-level college students with faculty members and mentors in the business world to try to commercialize ideas already being developed by those faculty members.
WMU and U-M provided funding for their teams with primary funding for I-Corps provided through the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
