GW OIE Partnership with MakeOffices

GW I+E Lab Logo

Via a generous sponsorship and partnership with MakeOffices, the GW Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship will bring together a cross-disciplinary community of students, faculty, staff, and alumni who all share a passion for building new ideas.

This partnership gives all GW student and faculty innovators, changemakers, and entrepreneurs a hub to explore, collaborate, and gain knowledge about the innovative and entrepreneurial process.

"A partnership with George Washington University's Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship is a natural fit on so many levels. It was our hope that we would be able to work with these programs to support the GW undergraduate, graduate, and alumni entrepreneurs."
