what is
IEEE Entrepreneurship?
IEEE Entrepreneurship is a strategic program portfolio within IEEE — the world’s largest technical professional organization and public charity dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.
Grounded in IEEE’s unmatched engineering heritage, our purpose is to help fulfill IEEE’s mission and strategic goals by enabling technology entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey to accelerate the commercialization of technologies that improve lives, and advance entrepreneurship‑led global development.
We do this by connecting founders to the full force of IEEE’s global, engineering‑driven ecosystem:
-
500,000 engineers, scientists, and technology professionals across more than 190 countries
Technical Societies, Councils, and Communities spanning every major field of engineering
-
Programs, partnerships, and resources designed to build skills, expand networks, and increase visibility
Through this engineering‑powered network, we help innovators transform ideas into technological solutions for a better future.
