ITE-Institute for Technology Enterpreneurship
The mission of the Washington State University (WSU) Institute for Technology Entrepreneurship is to:
- develop and focus entrepreneurial talent
- on creating high-technology business opportunities
- in the Mid-Columbia region.
ITE works in two ways
By matching multidisciplinary teams of graduate students to businesses with technologies ready to commercialize, committing the students to a year-long process of developing a business plan, including market research, financial analysis, and feedback from business plan competitions.
By placing MBA students in summer internships with high-tech firms, where contact between student, CEO, and other high-level personnel result in business value for the company and meaningful learning for the student.
Interested in participating in either an internship or a business plan development opportunity?
