Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (OIE)

OIE supports innovation and entrepreneurship on campus and throughout southwestern Pennsylvania and beyond. OIE’s efforts enable the University community and regional entrepreneurs to make an impact on society, improve the regional economy, and transform their own careers.

Whether through the Innovation Institute’s work with Pitt faculty on intellectual property and commercialization; the Big Idea Center’s student-focused programming from idea phase to company launch; or the Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence’s impact in our community as the top SBDC in the country, your gift to OIE will have a lasting impact on the innovative ecosystem and entrepreneurial spirit here in Pittsburgh, across the country, and around the world.
