Meet The Team!

The Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (CCEI), established in 2007, is identified as an area of strength by the University of Connecticut and is vital to the state and national economy, the UConn School of Business, and the university as a whole. CCEI is committed to UConn’s core values of "Innovation, Leadership, Global Engagement, and Diversity." As part of one of the United States’ leading public universities, we benefit from the academic background, strength in numbers, and geographic positioning of the populations we work with.
