Fordham University offers academic courses and co-curricular programs to support the educational and experiential learning needs of its students and alumni interested in starting, growing or joining new ventures.
According to Dr. Bert Twaalfhoven, the Center’s generous endower and founder of EFER (European Foundation for Entrepreneurship Research), “Innovative entrepreneurs come in all shapes and forms. They start companies, they spin out companies from university intellectual property or from corporations, they innovate from within larger corporations. Usually they share a primary objective—growth.”
Entrepreneurship is fostered at the undergraduate and graduate level, and through our academic curriculum, co-curricular programs, and outreach/business community programs :
Fordham TEC also runs and actively counsels students, alumni, and other members of the community in various business plan competitions such as :
- Fordham Start-up! Business Plan Competition
- Baruch/Merrill Lynch Business Plan Competition
