Texas A&M University proudly hosts an inclusive and enabling infrastructure for entrepreneurship and innovation efforts led by students through various on-campus programs: Startup Aggieland, Aggies in Business, and the Engineering Innovation Center are all manifestations of such an effort and allow students to exercise their business-savvy, creativity, and product development skills.

~~The~~ [http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/ The Mays Business School Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship ] provides undergraduate and graduate certificates for entrepreneurship. Unfortunately, the undergraduate certificate is limited to undergraduate students in Mays Business School. Only the graduate certificate is available to students across colleges. The Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship, however, does support student entrepreneurship as well as faculty and the local community with competitions and lecture series to inspire and educate across campus. ~~[[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/ http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/]]~~ Some of its popular programs include:

*[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/ideas-challenge/ Ideas Challenge] - idea competition where 40 finalist ideas are chosen, and the top 3 ideas receive a cash prize (1st - $3,000, 2nd - $2,000, 3rd - $1000)

*[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/3DS/ 3 Day Startup] - a weekend event where students collaborate to form businesses and demo a prototype to a panel of judges, including investors

*[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/lunch-learn/ Lunch and Learn] - lunch speaker events

[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/accelerator Startup Aggieland ] is a brand new student incubator designed to provide students who have launch-ready concepts with the opportunity to receive co-working spaces, mentors, and a supportive community.  They lack laboratories, equipment, and funding. ~~[[http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/accelerator/ http://cnve.tamu.edu/programs/accelerator/]]~~

[http://www.txaib.org/images/txaib/pages/aib_consulting.html Aggies in Business (AiB) ] is another brand new program that provides business consulting for local businesses, and enables students to be employed by the university to perform this consulting work.  The student employees are overseen by leadership.~~  [[http://www.txaib.org/images/txaib/pages/aib_consulting.html http://www.txaib.org/images/txaib/pages/aib_consulting.html]]~~

Texas A&M also has several avenues, such as the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship Newsletter, Texas A&M Regional Engineering Conference, and Engineering Development (hosted by Student Engineers' Council), to inform students of and market innovation and entrepreneurial activities and opportunities. 

[http://tamuhack.com/ TAMUHack] is the official [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackathon hackathon] of the university, where 700 students across the world get together on our campus to build amazing products quickly and intelligently. TAMUHack brings relevant industrial partners such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Rackspace to connect with our students and helps them to meet the needs of a world that is incessantly expanding. This event particularly allows the students to exercise their sense of entrepreneurship and innovation by rapidly developing solutions to modern problems in an efficient manner, and also helps our students to learn to work with a diverse set of team members. Additionally, this event exposes our students to the rapid construction/deployment framework, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development agile development], that is one of the hallmarks of modernly relevant powerhouses in tech such as Square, Uber, Facebook, AirBnB, and others.
