Vision
Established in spring 2006, OU’s Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth creates an environment where students and faculty can learn about entrepreneurial ventures, how ideas lead to intellectual property, how intellectual property leads to products, how products lead to companies and jobs, and how jobs lead to a stronger, more diverse economy.

Objectives
CCEW’s objectives are: (1) broaden exposure to the entrepreneurial process, (2) give interested students the opportunity to engage in real-world business enterprise, (3) accelerate moving OU technology into the marketplace and (4) strengthen wealth development in Oklahoma.

Outreach
CCEW brings together higher education and the private sector, with ongoing support from government, by presenting programs and seminars that highlight the role of entrepreneurs in business and technology.

Programs
Through both a Mentor-in-Residence Program and an Internship Program, CCEW participants engage in entrepreneurial outreach activities and the development of actual start-up companies. The center provides the university with an enhanced mechanism to provide practical experience to promote the entrepreneurial spirit and assist in developing Oklahoma’s economy.
