The NC State Entrepreneurship Alliance is a federation of university departments, programs and groups offering opportunities for the NC State community to learn and explore various aspects of entrepreneurship. Member organizations collaborate on events and meet often to discuss and share new initiatives.

Mission 

The NC State Entrepreneurship Alliance supports, promotes and advances a culture of entrepreneurship throughout the university. By connecting many different campus communities, the alliance model brings together groups, organizations, companies and generations where they may not normally cross paths. By providing resources, fostering collaboration and enhancing communication in support of NC State students, faculty, staff and alumni, the alliance is powered by, and for our communities.
