Entrepreneurship Week 2022
The only thing worse than starting something and failing … is not starting something.
– Seth Godin, Squidoo founder, author and blogger
You are here at EIU for a reason. Soon, you might find out that reason was to start a business and change the course of history for yourself, your family, you community.
Could I really become an entrepreneur?
During the annual Entrepreneurship Week you can learn how entrepreneurs are tackling social issues, transforming central Illinois with a local billion-dollar company, and see Panthers pitch their ideas in EIU's own Shark Tank.
We believe that what stops you from launching a startup company is you. We are for you. We are EIU.
