The Uihlein/Spitzer Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (also known as the “Innovent Center”) promotes entrepreneurship inspiration, education and collaboration at MSOE.
What is the Innovent Center?
The Innovent Center is dedicated to interdisciplinary exploration and collaboration. It’s a space for MSOE students, alumni, faculty and staff to work, experiment, brainstorm, collaborate, learn, study and work together.

“The Innovent Center welcomes those who are in the early stages of ideation. It is a place to grab a cup of coffee and a snack, meet likeminded individuals as well as those from other disciplines, make connections and find resources.” - Dr. Ruth Barratt, chair, Rader School of Business
