The ICBI35 conference, held April 25-30, included a showcase in which attendees heard awards finalists present their entries in the fast-paced PechaKucha format in which slides advance every 20 seconds. ENI associate director Jackie Davis was a presenting finalist.

Georgia State’s ENI was the only entrepreneurship center to take home two awards, both of which focused on the institute’s work supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs.

  • Entrepreneurship Center of the Year Award: Sector Focused Category

  • Specialty Award for Most Innovative Program for the Main Street Entrepreneurs Seed Fund – a business accelerator program supporting underrepresented students, recent alumni, and Georgia State community entrepreneurs with seed funding and mentorship

“Receiving these prestigious awards is a testament to the commitment of Georgia State University and the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute to eliminating achievement gaps for all entrepreneurs and serving as a national model for inclusive entrepreneurship and innovation,” Davis said.

The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute of Georgia State University's Robinson College of Business fulfills a university-wide mandate to strengthen the entrepreneurial and innovation culture across campus. ENI aims to be a national model for inclusive entrepreneurial education and innovation. Its activities span academics, co-curricular activities, and community and industry partnerships.
