Midwest Engineering Entrepreneurship Network (MEEN)

Save the date!

August 8-9, 2018: 8th Annual MEEN Conference, University of Nebraska (Lincoln, Nebraska)

In 2011, TEC and CFE recognized the value in establishing an organization that would provide a forum for sharing best practices and methods for overcoming challenges unique to Midwest engineering entrepreneurship centers.

Why you should attend MEEN:

• Learn about Midwest opportunities for I-Corps  

• Find how other universities are breaking down the educational siloes

• Present a best practice in Engineering Entrepreneurship from your organization

• Describe a challenge you are having that the MEEN network may be able to help with

We look forward to sharing and exploring new ideas and tackling the common problems we all face.

Testimonials:

"Hosting and attending the MEEN Conference has been an invaluable opportunity to meet with colleagues across the Midwest, exchange best practices, and build collaborative initiatives that leverage our collective resources and expertise. In a relatively low-density entrepreneurial ecosystem, MEEN has provided a platform to enable much greater connectivity across geographically dispersed institutions. Nice people too!"
