*'''SmartZone''': the SmartZone in Houghton offers a variety of services to inspiring entrepreneurs. From their SmartStart program which guides startups through a curriculum to validate their idea, to low cost office space the SmartZone can help move an idea into reality quickly. With a major state grant the smartzone is able to offer world class services at a low cost. For students at Michigan Tech faculty, a strategic partnership between the University and the Smartzone makes many of the services free.

We believe we can remove this bottleneck by merging the engineer successes brought forth by the enterprise and senior design structure with students who have demonstrated business acumen and are passionate about transforming their idea into a new venture.</span>
