NYU Tandon's entrepreneurship initiatives are bridging engineering research, education, and innovation.

As problem-solvers, engineers are inherently innovators. Even if you never plan to start a company, understanding best practices for inventiveness, creativity, and entrepreneurial and design thinking can be valuable for your life and career.

NYU Tandon offers a range of resources to help faculty and students bring new ideas to life — and to market, if that’s the goal — from educational opportunities to ideation support to incubation, including networking, funding opportunities, and space and equipment.
