On campus, the Innovate Carolina Network is a meta-group of more than 200 UNC-Chapel Hill leaders who meet regularly to create new connections, identify gaps and strengthen the ecosystem. Innovate Carolina has also just recently initiated a global network to serve as a catalyst for the entrepreneurial community outside of UNC-Chapel Hill. The network is open to any entrepreneur, investor, group or mentor affiliated with the Carolina. Not only can the network engage this global community, but it can also serve as a facilitator for internships and talent acquisition for University-affiliated entrepreneurs.
