America’s Leading Partnership University

Entrepreneurial students benefit from the connections and partnerships the CEI has established within the UCF community and beyond. The CEI can help students engage with appropriate support from agencies such as the Small Business Development Center, Venture Lab, Incubator Program, Office of Tech Transfer and the Institute for Economic Competitiveness. Other partners the CEI may tap on students’ behalf include the Disney Entrepreneur Center, the Florida High Tech Corridor Council, the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission and the Central Florida Partnership.

The CEI and its many partners are working to promote UCF’s reputation as “America’s Leading Partnership University,” through a shared interest in the growth and sustainability of the Central Florida region. We are proud to take an active role in making Orlando “one of the most highly coordinated entrepreneurial engines in the country” as noted recently by Entrepreneur Magazine.
