Kenan-Flagler’s Entrepreneurship Center (Eship Center) and RTF Partnership Announcement

January 26, 2021 @ 8:30 am - 9:30 am

Please join Scott Levitan, president and CEO of the Research Triangle Foundation (RTF), for a virtual event on Tuesday, January 26th as they announce the new partnership.

Kenan-Flagler’s Entrepreneurship Center (Eship Center) and RTF have partnered to capitalize on the existing relationship and synergy between the two organizations. In addition to joint thought leadership efforts, the collaboration includes more direct ways that companies in RTP can work directly with The Eship Center and Kenan-Flagler, such as internships, projects, and case studies, as well as the development of an office outpost for The Eship Center in the Frontier RTP startup campus developed by RTF. The outpost will provide a space where staff, students and faculty can easily collaborate with RTP companies.

Following the partnership announcement, Eship Center Executive Director Vickie Gibbs will present key insights from our Q4 Trends in Entrepreneurship Report. Faculty Director Chris Bingham will moderate a panel of experts from Kenan-Flagler as they highlight some of their most recent research and discuss how these trends can unlock the potential of close collaboration between industry and academia.

This virtual event will be held Tuesday, January 26th from 8:30am – 9:30am. To register, RSVP here.
