North Carolina State University partners with local entrepreneur network HQ Raleigh on startup space.
North Carolina State University’s (NCSU) tech transfer unit, the Office of Technology Transfer, is opening a shared office space at entrepreneur centre HQ Raleigh.
Capable of housing 10 startup companies, NCSU hopes that the new office space will help link its entrepreneurially-minded staff and students with the local startup community as well as drawing on the experience of HQ Raleigh members and links to investors.
Wade Fulghum, assistant director for Venture Development at the Office of Technology Transfer, said: “We are fortunate to be located in the Research Triangle area with such a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem to support our startups once they are ready to continue their growth off-campus. Raleigh’s innovation ecosystem has seen impressive growth, and we are excited to provide our startup companies with access to the dynamic environment at HQ Raleigh.”
Jason Widen, HQ Raleigh executive director, added: “This collaborative relationship with the Office of Technology Transfer will work to solidify the connection between NC State and the broader entrepreneurial community, thereby providing greater opportunities for entrepreneurs in the region.”
