Programming to support your ideas!

The Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship (OIE) provides programming around innovation, education, venture creation, and making connections to support GW entrepreneurs and the Mid-Atlantic startup community.

"OIE was truly transformative when I was at GW, and first starting up Nanochon. It helped us change our mindset from solving a 'scientific problem' to a real world customer need, and helped us quickly network with early collaborators, advisers and stakeholders."
