GCEC Chicago 2018

DePaul University and Illinois Institute of Technology are hosting the 2018 Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) annual conference.

The GCEC is the premier academic organization addressing the emerging topics of importance to the nation’s university-based centers for entrepreneurship.

It has become the vehicle by which the top, established entrepreneurship centers, as well as emerging centers, can work together to share best practices, develop programs and initiatives, and collaborate and assist each other in advancing, strengthening, and celebrating the role of universities in teaching the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

Chicago: Big City, Big Impact!

A vibrant and world-renowned entrepreneurial ecosystem has developed in Chicago to support starting and building businesses. There are over 88 different incubators, accelerators, and co-working spaces in Chicago, and many are tied to our universities.
