The Innovation & Entrepreneurship Council was introduced in 2019 in partnership with the New Jersey Entrepreneurial Network. The program brings together start-up companies, small business entrepreneurs, educational institutions and funding organizations supporting entrepreneurship.  The program recognizes the immense importance of innovation and entrepreneurship in our region and works to enhance the business environment that supports this vital economic growth initiative for our region. 

Introduced in 2019, the “Princeton PitchStop” event brings together start-up companies and small business entrepreneurs who “Pitch” their business proposals to a panel of equity funders. 

Our first contest, in partnership with Princeton University, Princeton BioLabs and associated law firms, accounting firms, marketing firms and consultants, provided an award of support services to the winning company.

Upcoming Events:

Our next event will be on July 23rd at Grounds For Sculpture’s East Gallery.
