Innovation is a positive force for change.  

The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is an engine for prosperity in Vermont at the intersection of education, workforce, and economic development.  

We created Do North Coworking, Forestry Accelerator, and workforce development programs like the Sustainable Trail Building One Year Certificate program as new forms of value for life-long learners.  

Through an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach with a network of partners, we help people discover, develop, and share ideas that improve our world.   

Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship creates opportunities for everyone.
