 Entities such as INprende, Guayacan, EntrePrize, and Parallel 18 are constantly visiting Mayaguez in college tours in order to see what the students of UPRM are up to in terms of entreprenuership and innovation, and to find local talents and startups to fund. Parallel 18 is a startup incubator and accelarator belonging to the Puerto Rico Science and Research Fund which finds about 35 startups from Puerto Rico and the world to fund and mentor for a year. Parallel 18 has great connections with UPRM and the E-ship Network, and is very invested in the students and their ideas. There have been 3 startups that have entered Parallel 18 that have come directly from Mayaguez, and there are many students that work on their offices as interns. Another important entity is Vitech, a local startup accelerator which has its offices near campus. The Vitech offices include a space that is awarded to startups that come from the UPRM, even if the students are still studying. This space is called: Startup Lab.&nbsp;UPRM Start Up Lab, component of the UPRM E-Ship Network, was founded to promote the development of emerging startups created by students of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. In partnership with the Puerto Rico Techno Economic Corridor (PRTEC) we have a site in VITEC2 Technology Business Accelerator. The 400 square feet co-working space is equipped giving the tools our students needed for the commercialization process of their ventures. Also, we bring them an entrepreneurship environment with access to a network of experienced mentors.

-<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">There is very little encouragement for the faculty to engage in innovation and entrepreneurship. Even though research commercialization exists, the process is tedious and burecrautic. Much of the faculty does not know about the research commercialization, and the rest does not attempt it due to its difficult and time consuming nature. Faculty that works in innovation and entrepreneurship is mostly self-driven, or it is an important part of the courses they are giving, which tends to be the case within the Business Administration Departement.&nbsp;</span>

 The Chancellor of our University has stated multiple times that “I&E is one of his most important priorities on campus”. However, changing decades of institutional culture is not something that happens in a year. Institutional policies sometimes impede faculty innovation and entrepreneurship through research. An example of these policies are that if a professor chooses to give a selected number of hours of class, say 12hrs a week, institutional policies don’t encourage him to do research. Likewise, those professors that do develop research possess the entrepreneurship mindset in the sense that they search for funding outside the university, but whether they spin-out and commercialize their projects is still in construction. In the other hand, some professors are not aware of the commercialization potential of their projects because they have not been exposed enough to know the indicated processes. In order to change the impact that the disorientation can cause, preparation and training for professors that have research projects in every faculty should be a high priority.
 <div>Despite the challenges, the University of Puerto Rico- Mayaguez has a group of champions in the faculty that keeps growing. This group has been submitting proposals for courses, programs, researches, among other successful initiatives that promote I&E. This group is the spark that will illuminate other professors and administrators to keep the momentum.</div>
