With funding from the University of Texas System, the Mike Loya Center for Innovation and Commerce will engage student groups at UTEP to promote and market the UT System Talent Exchange, which promotes job opportunities across the state of Texas, including startups. An integral part of this project is an I-Corps regional event to nurture the pipeline for supplying teams/companies to the UT Svstem Mentor Network. The expected outcomes are the development of the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems of U.T. System institutions that carry out research to increase access, create efficiencies, diminish redundancies and enhance the scope and quality of entrepreneurship programs.
