Message from the Chair:
2025 marks a year of exceptional momentum for IEEE Entrepreneurship and a significant milestone as we celebrate the program’s 10-year anniversary. Across the globe, engineers and technologists continue to transform bold ideas into meaningful real-world impact, and the IEEE Entrepreneurship Community remains a vital bridge between technical excellence and entrepreneurial execution. Throughout the year, we expanded our global footprint, deepened strategic partnerships—both within IEEE and beyond—and strengthened our portfolio of new and existing programs to support innovators at every stage of their journey.
Our progress would not be possible without the unwavering dedication of our volunteers, collaborators, and partners. They are the true driving force behind IEEE Entrepreneurship, ensuring that our community is not only a catalyst for venture creation, but also a trusted platform for founders navigating an increasingly complex and fast-evolving innovation landscape.
As we look to the future, our direction is clear. We are focused on strengthening our foundations for sustainable growth over the next decade, broadening access to high-quality entrepreneurial resources, and continuing to build a vibrant, inclusive global ecosystem that empowers technology entrepreneurs everywhere. The achievements captured in this report reflect the strength of our community—and point to even greater opportunities ahead.
