As one of the top university business accelerators in North America, Launch Chapel Hill participates in the U.S. Department of State’s Professional Fellows Program, a global exchange program that promotes mutual understanding, enhances leadership and professional skills and builds lasting, sustainable partnerships between emerging leaders from foreign countries and the United States.
As part of the program, Launch hosted Konstantin Kozlov, who directs an incubation program in Russia at Mari State University for the month of May 2017. While visiting the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he participated in the Chancellor’s Faculty Entrepreneurship Workshop. The workshop made such an impact on Kozlov, he wanted to work with Launch Director Dina Rousset to create a similar workshop at his home university, where they are 10 to 15 years earlier in the process of developing programs to support innovation and entrepreneurship.
