The Business and Entrepreneurial Studies Department is the home of Lincoln University's Lincubator. The Lincubator is a resource hub for students on campus that helps propel and grow their business ideas. It supplies them with resources such as podcasting studios, 3-D printers, and Mac desktops. In addition to these resources, the Lincubator encompasses a variety of current student-led businesses in our Innovation Cafe. The Innovation Cafe is a shop where students can purchase their peer's products or services from their very own businesses. It gives students a chance to showcase their products and services and for their peers to be made aware of these businesses. The Lincubator is indeed a promoter of diverse markets.
