About

North Carolina Central University is building a strong foundation for innovation.

We are committed to supporting faculty-led startups, student change makers, and founders who want to bring their big ideas to life, develop market-ready solutions, and drive community impact through entrepreneurship and research commercialization.
‍
At NCCU, entrepreneurship is more than business—it's a form of service, leadership, and legacy building. Powered by the Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED), Central Connect is an EcoMap that connects you to the tools, programs, and spaces that support innovation at every stage.

This map is one part guidebook, one part connector.
It reflects our campus-wide commitment to access, excellence, and community transformation through entrepreneurship and economic development.
