2022 Veterans Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program


Have you ever had a great business idea but didn’t know where to start? Do you need help launching, growing, or protecting your business? Would you like to learn more about raising capital, funding opportunities for research and development, buying inventory, obtaining lines of credit, or building a working prototype? Are you interested in learning how to sell your product or service to federal, state, or local government agencies? 

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, make sure to check out the 2022 Veterans Innovation and Entrepreneurship program. This event is open to all, and we encourage everyone who is affiliated with the military to attend. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from innovative veterans about their journeys towards successful entrepreneurship. You’ll also learn about critical resources available to entrepreneurs and inventors, including training, counseling, and access to capital from representatives of entrepreneurial organizations such as the U.S. Small Business Administration, Bunker Labs, and the D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families at the University of Syracuse.
