Together, innovate for all
At UNC-Chapel Hill, we believe that the world’s complex challenges unite us around a common calling: Together, innovate for all. Innovate Carolina is UNC-Chapel Hill’s department for innovation, entrepreneurship and economic development that provides a full-scale hub designed for today’s problem solvers: innovation-minded faculty, students and community partners who use their ingenuity to nudge the world forward.
Our programs and services help Carolina innovators and entrepreneurs launch startups and create market-ready technologies, products and services. By helping these problem-solvers move more inventions and valuable ideas into the world faster, we make the greatest social and economic impact possible.
How we create impact
Innovate Carolina works with innovators, entrepreneurs and industry leaders across a variety of fields to innovate for the public good in two primary ways: taking new technologies to market through commercialization and launching new startup ventures. We do this through Innovate Carolina’s innovation hub services and by connecting people to a variety of innovation resources offered by campus and community partners.
