Commitment to inclusive innovation

Growing opportunities for all

Here at the Northeast I-Corps Hub, we're not just training the next wave of STEM leaders; we’re on a mission to open doors and break down barriers to ensure that prosperity and global competitiveness includes voices from all walks of life. 

Our pledge to inclusivity goes beyond buzzwords. It includes, for example: 

  • Cultivating a diverse mentor network of accomplished individuals who've successfully navigated the startup landscape and are committed to guiding you through the journey. 
  • Ensuring that our Hub instructors and mentors reflect the rich talent of our region. 
  • Actively recruiting and amplifying a range of perspectives in entrepreneurship to drive innovation and growth.

In collaboration with partner institutions, we're forging meaningful relationships with minority-serving institutions to enrich our community of innovators.
