E-Hub Competitions
The E-Hub facilitates and supports several activities and competitions organized by faculty and student clubs. The goal of these activities and competitions is to promote an entrepreneurial spirit among members of the Bentley community and provide multiple opportunities for Bentley community members to pursue and practice entrepreneurial efforts and activities. These activities and competitions are not purely aimed at networking and building professional relationships. Instead, they foster elements such as innovation and creativity, problem-solving, and risk-taking – ingredients that are necessary for entrepreneurship.
These activities/competitions can take several forms such as pitch contests, intrapreneurship challenges, social entrepreneurship, and many more. Faculty members can collaborate with the E-Hub to integrate these activities/competitions into current course design across both Business and Arts & Sciences. Student clubs can also collaborate with the E-Hub to build and support these activities/competitions. The E-Hub provides logistics assistance, provides support for tangible prizes, promotes and activities/competition, helps to find judges and experts, and builds connections among faculty, student clubs, and across the two.
