One of the largest resources within the region of UConn is Connecticut Innovations. CTInnovations works to bring investors and entrepreneurs together along with providing additional funding. They are connected with the UConn community and provide a great resource for a student with an established entrepreneurial venture.
There is currently a 3.5 Billion dollar "innovation initiative" project in play right now at UConn. This is a campus wide overhaul of the Universities STEM program to offer more opportunitiy to the students. There is a tech park being built on campus that will house start-up companies and think tanks lead by companies like GE and Pratt & Whitney. An engineering research lab is also in construction.
One of the most recently finished buildings is the new Next Generation STEM building which houses 727 students in a state of the art dormitory complete with the first ever maker space on campus, the Learning Community Innovation Zone (LCIZ). This space will allow students to pursue hands on learning that will help strengthen their academic experience from as early on as their first year in colege.
