At the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center, we are thrilled to welcome 2025 with open arms and big aspirations. As we embark on another exciting year, we are eager to continue collaborating with our current partners while forging new relationships that strengthen our campus and broader community.
This past year, we celebrated a remarkable milestone—five years in our wonderful building and hosting over 1,000 workshops. These achievements are a testament to the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit of UWM and the dedication of our team.
One of our key initiatives remains the NSF I-Corps™ program, where UWM plays a pivotal role in the Midwestern academic entrepreneurial ecosystem. This program continues to empower researchers and innovators, bridging the gap between groundbreaking discoveries and market impact.
Our Startup Challenge remains a cornerstone of our mission. We are proud to support student entrepreneurs as they transform their innovative ideas into reality, fostering creativity and growth on our campus and beyond.
This year, we are looking forward to a dynamic journey filled with experiments and pilot projects, exploring bold ideas that pave the way for future success.
Finally, we extend our deepest gratitude to our generous supporters and funders. Your unwavering commitment makes our work possible and enables us to nurture the next generation of changemakers.
2025 is poised to be a transformative year, and we can’t wait to see the incredible innovations, connections, and successes it will bring. Here’s to a year of growth, discovery, and entrepreneurship!
