Penn State is working on increasing university and local industry collaboration. Some of the programs that exist today are The Learning Factory (where teams of students are given projects and budgets by industry to solve a problem within a semester), Hackathons (companies such as Microsoft and Google hold their Hackathons at Penn State), and the Engineering Design Program (where students learn to use industrial tools such as CAD) Currently, Penn State is working on increasing university relations with State College local entrepreneurs. </p><h2> == Regional and local economic development efforts </h2>== <p>By collaborating with Ben Franklin Technology Partners, Penn State's Innovation Park, Penn State Business Development Center, Center Region Entrepreneur Network (CREN), Nittany Entrepreneurs and various other Penn State organization and university programs, Penn State is attempting to decrease the gap between university and State College local entrepreneurs.

The UIF fellow at Penn State is also helping make a database and transfer platform for entrepreneurs, alumni, and past and current students. This should help regional and economical development. The goal for State College is to bring State College industry revenue to $3 Billion by 2033.</p><h2> == Other </h2>==<h3> === Penn State's Entrepreneurial Rating </h3>=== <p>I would rate Penn State a 7 out of 10 for entrepreneurship activities. Though there has been some great progress made in entrepreneurship at Penn State in the last few years, Penn State still has a long way to go. Penn State requires better design labs and innovation work spaces on campus. As a university as a whole, Penn State needs to push entrepreneurship instead of just pushing working in industries. Penn State has room to grow in entrepreneurship.</p><p>Note: The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) consists of 24 campuses. Each campus promotes entrepreneurship in it's own way. For consistency, only Penn State's University Park campus information has been consolidated .</p> [[Category:Universities]]
