Michigan Wolverine Innovation Nework (MWIN)
What is MWIN?
UM-Flint’s Michigan Wolverine Innovation Network (MWIN) seeks to foster a campus culture of innovation, creativity, and the entrepreneurial mindset throughout all academic disciplines. This is achieved through building relationships among faculty, students, community and industry partners to solve entrepreneur and industry-identified problems and leveraging institutional resources for proof-of-concept commercialization.
MWIN is a signature program of UM-Flint’s Office of Economic Development and EDA University Center for Community and Economic Development. Funding for the Winter 2025 MWIN program is provided in part by the C.S. Mott Foundation and the U.S. Economic Development Administration.
