Description

The NOAA Environmental Entrepreneurship Program is designed to strengthen the capacity of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to foster student careers, entrepreneurship opportunities and advanced academic degrees in the sciences directly related to NOAA=s mission.  The sciences directly related to NOAA=s mission include: fisheries, coastal, ocean, climate, atmospheric, environmental sciences, and remote sensing technology.  
For the purposes of this program, Environmental Entrepreneurship is defined as a mechanism to provide student training in the application of NOAA sciences for the creation of business opportunities.  This is achieved by MSIs establishing partnerships with NOAA, the academic community, and the public and private sector to engage students in a compliment of entrepreneurial training and technical skills in environmental sciences that will promote commerce and economic development.
