Changes

By collaborating with Ben Franklin Technology Partners, Penn State's Innovation Park, Penn State Business Development Center, Center and Centre Region Entrepreneur Network (CREN), Nittany Entrepreneurs Innoblue and various other Penn State organization and university programs, Penn State is attempting to decrease the gap between university and State College local entrepreneurs. In 2013, there will be the first 'career fair' for local businesses to help students and entrepreneurs reach other. The UIF fellow at Penn State is also helping make a database and transfer platform for entrepreneurs, alumni, and past and current students. This should help regional and economical development. The goal for State College is to bring State College local industry revenue to $3 Billion billion by 2033.
