Guest speakers, panels and competitions provide an interactive opportunity to hone your business model, improve your presentation and pitch skills and generate funding and prize money for your venture.
An intensive 10-week summer program designed to accelerate investment, licensing and launch of UMass’ most promising new technologies and ventures.

Mission & Vision
The Center supports the aspirational goal of the University of Massachusetts: Higher education destination of choice for students who want to be entrepreneurs.
In 2014, the Berthiaume Center for Entrepreneurship was established thanks to the generous financial support of Diana and Doug Berthiaume. "I have seen firsthand how great research, a committed faculty and private partnerships give students a richer learning environment. Diana and I look forward to seeing the impact this new center will have across the university." - Doug Berthiaume
