Innovate
Whether you are a business owner looking for human capital, collaborative partners, and/or new ideas; a student with passion and entrepreneurial drive; or a faculty member engaged in research; the University of Michigan-Flint has opportunities for you. A number of centers have been developed to meet the entrepreneurial needs of the campus community and external partners.
Innovation Incubator
What is The Innovation Incubator [IN]?
[IN] is a place for people to work, meet, share, and grow. It’s a refreshing option if you’re looking to escape from home, the office, or even a coffee shop. It is a place where students and the community can focus on a project, host a meeting, or connect with others. If this is what you seek, you may have found your place!
Community One
Community One is a community service program operated by the University of Michigan-Flint’s Michigan Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. Its vision is to see that students, faculty, organizations and businesses have the opportunity to work together to solve problems and address issues that are important to organizations throughout our community and beyond.
Community One’s mission is to match the operational and strategic needs of external organizations with the knowledge, skills, abilities, and interests of our students and faculty. We aim to facilitate the exchange of ideas, help with the creation, design, and implementation of programs and provide organizations with the assistance needed to complete projects.
Michigan Family Business Center
The Michigan Family Business Center (MFBC) at the University of Michigan – Flint provides high-level business support for family businesses in a confidential setting.

Work with University Outreach to form mutually beneficial partnerships with students, faculty and community partners for class-based projects and applied research; and make students aware of volunteer opportunities within your organization. Please submit the Community Partner Request Form.
