The Enterprise Center (EC) at Calvin will foster and commercialize intellectual properties developed at the college. It will be the facilitator or doorway for the commercialization of IP coming out of Calvin College. It will stimulate the development of viable IP-based products and services inside the college. In addition, by various means, it will seek to form "partnerships" with businesses, alumni, investors or other interested parties to commercialize products and services that are generated internally or brought to the college by third parties.
