In October 2014, Invent@NMU opened its doors as a student program of Northern Michigan University (NMU). Our goal is to provide an experiential learning opportunity for students as well as to help regional inventors and entrepreneurs take their product or business ideas to market or assist existing business owners looking to innovate from within. Here, students get to use their education at NMU in parallel with mentorship from the professional management staff of the economic development organization Innovate Marquette SmartZone to contribute to the entrepreneurial ecosystem and business growth of the Upper Peninsula. Though we’ve grown throughout the years our mission remains the same: to enhance the NMU student experience through hands-on learning and mentorship opportunities by providing support to high-tech and product-based entrepreneurs in the region.
