<span style="font-size: larger;">Northwestern has always sought to engage in development efforts in the Evanston community and recently has sought to play a role in the economic development of the Chicago and Midwest entrepreneurial ecosystems. Through its partnership with 1871 and others in the Chicago and Midwest ecosystems, Northwestern has become a major producer of both talent and technology for these ecosystems and has helped them to grow rapidly over the past few years.</span>
