The Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation was created to introduce the concept of entrepreneurship to students; to provide intensive knowledge and experience for those who desire a deeper understanding and to inspire all to live their lives in an entrepreneurial manner–Continual pursuit of opportunity unconstrained by initial resources.

Our mission is to teach, coach, and inspire faculty and students to become entrepreneurial throughout their lives and, in so doing, assist the University of Florida to become an entrepreneurial institution. Toward this end, CEI uses an innovative interdisciplinary approach, bringing together a variety of individuals with a variety of backgrounds and experiences to foster a common passion–the passion for entrepreneurship.
