“Our mission is to develop entrepreneurial talent to better Aotearoa and the world.”

 

The Business School’s Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) offers free opportunities for students and staff of all faculties at the University of Auckland to develop entrepreneurial mindsets and innovative capability.

Whatever you’re studying or your goals for life, CIE is here to support your University journey through delivering programmes, workshops, seminars and other opportunities for you to build your networks and capabilities. We’ll also help you develop a mindset that finds solutions, overcomes obstacles and relishes challenges.

Your involvement with CIE can also be formally recognised through the University’s Co-curricular Recognition Programme, giving you the potential to earn a University of Auckland Distinguished Graduate Award to showcase your new skills to prospective employers.

Director’s Welcome

The University of Auckland is New Zealand’s leading university and is an international powerhouse of innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity. Through CIE, students and staff of all faculties are provided free opportunities to develop entrepreneurial mindsets and innovative capability through a wide range of programmes and training conducted at our two innovation hubs and makerspaces.

At CIE we strive towards enabling our community to succeed in meeting their professional and personal ambitions, whether as employees or founders of social and commercial ventures.

Students and staff with an entrepreneurial mindset are better prepared to be adaptable, resilient, curious, creative and resourceful and develop effective solutions to contemporary problems. Our community’s success is evidenced by numerous ventures addressing innovations in energy, water, medicine, education, agriculture, mental health and more.

CIE incorporates the UNSDGs and cutting-edge technology into its programme design. This approach has been recognised internationally with awards from the International Council of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the United States Association of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centres and the Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities.

Join us! And help us grow our community of innovators wanting to make a difference in the world.
