ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ the Heyde Entrepreneurship Center
The entrepreneurship center exists to spark new ideas, turn those ideas into actions, help students create and build new ventures, and is a catalyst for bold thinking and real-world impact.
The Center connects students, faculty, and community partners to launch ideas, build ventures, and connect across disciplines and borders. The Heyde Center strengthens the entrepreneurial ecosystem across campus and Northwestern Wisconsin. Through hands-on programs, events, and partnerships, we provide opportunities to test ideas, grow businesses, and build lasting networks.
Community and Collaboration
The Heyde Center is more than a space; it’s an ecosystem designed to help students and founders thrive. Our community connects people and ideas through:
• Networking with mentors, founders, and investors
• Collaboration with the Blugold Innovation Club
• Local site visits with area entrepreneurs
• Built-in accountability and support for your projects
Local Businesses Support Needed
