Welcome to the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEIN) at Crawford University!

It is with great joy and profound enthusiasm that I greet you as the Coordinator of this vibrant hub dedicated to nurturing creativity, fostering innovation, and cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit within our university community. At Crawford University, entrepreneurship is one of our core values. We believe it is a transformative force that drives economic growth, creates opportunities, and empowers individuals to turn their visions into reality. Our Centre stands at the forefront of this mission, providing a dynamic platform for our students (aspiring entrepreneurs) to engage, learn various skills, and thrive. The Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is committed to creating an ecosystem where innovative ideas can flourish and where individuals are inspired to embark on their entrepreneurial journeys. Our vision is to be a leading centre for entrepreneurial education and support, fostering a culture of innovation that extends beyond the walls of our university and into the broader community. Here, we aim to:

  • Educate: Through a rich curriculum that combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, we offer courses, workshops, and seminars that empower students to become knowledgeable and capable entrepreneurs.
  • Connect: By establishing networks with industry professionals, successful entrepreneurs, and investors, we create valuable connections for our students that can lead to collaboration, funding, and mentorship opportunities.
  • At the Centre, we pride ourselves on our diverse range of skills that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. I encourage you to participate actively in the programmes and activities we offer. Whether you are a student with a business idea, a faculty member with expertise to share, or a community member looking to collaborate, there is a place for you at the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Your contributions and participation will help us build a robust entrepreneurial culture that benefits not only our university but also our surrounding communities. As we embark on this exciting journey together, I am confident that the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Crawford University will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our students and the broader society. Let us work hand in hand to inspire, innovate, and ignite the entrepreneurial spark within each other. Together, let us create a legacy of entrepreneurship and innovation that will resonate for generations to come. Best regards,
