Abstract: The University of Bridgeport is the home of the CTech IncUBator, a joint initiative of the university and Connecticut Innovations, Inc. Inaugurated in 2010, the CTech IncUBator@University of Bridgeport assists new technology-based startups by providing a variety of benefits such as pro-bono and discounted professional services and shared support services and facilities.Through a grant from the National Collegiate Innovators and Inventors Alliance (NCIIA), a strategy and plan has been developed which will provide a sustainable method for students to work with the new CTech IncUBator and its businesses while gaining college credit and experience.Student excellence and entrepreneur teams (E-Teams) will either work with the incubator to develop and commercialize their own ideas or they will develop products with existing businesses (both inside and outside of the IncUBator).The project develops the necessary business and education structures to make a sustainable business relationship between UB students and the IncUBator and its associated companies.
