INVENT

Launched in 2015 by Penn State President Emeritus Eric Barron, Invent Penn State is a $30 million initiative that redefined the university's land grant mission to include entrepreneurship and innovation programs, tools and resources that accelerate the movement of great ideas to the marketplace and make a substantial economic development impact in Pennsylvania and beyond... While launched as part of our land-grant mission, we believe that community leaders, entrepreneurs, residents, leaders of institutions, elected officials, and those who want to play a role in uplifting, growing, and building thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems, both in rural and urban areas, may be able to benefit from our missteps and successes... Invent Penn State is a Commonwealth-wide initiative to spur economic development, job creation, and student career success.
