Here’s the feedback participants have shared about ITEP: “The program laid the roadmap that will guide me through the various aspects of starting and running a business.” “This program was an important jumping point for me, to transition into entrepreneurship. It forced me to look at my work through the lens of business.” ITEP strongly encourages participation from underrepresented groups, including Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) and Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs). This program may be of particular interest to organizations actively promoting innovation and entrepreneurship among minorities, women, and socially disadvantageous groups such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, Women Business Organizations, HUBZone programs, and others.
