      Finding Opportunities and Resources to Grow Entrepreneurs (FORGE) is a unit of Research, Innovation, and Impact. It has three departments: • FORGE Student Venture Pathways™ includes sponsored innovation challenges, student clubs and networking events, internships, venture‐based mini‐courses, and pitch and business plan competitions. It is tasked with exposing every student at the university to entrepreneurial concepts and inspiring this mindset in as many students as possible, regardless of major. • FORGE Connecting Communities advances the entrepreneurial ecosystems where UArizona operates. By partnering with a not-for-profit entrepreneurial support organization in each community, FORGE can augment and support localized programs and activities. • FORGE Ahead™ is a resident startup accelerator providing access to resources critical for scale and launch. Applicants to this competitive program come from the university and community and are supported for one year of residency. Graduates from FORGE Ahead go on to national caliber accelerators, significant venture capital raises, or acquisition. Show less
