Entrepreneurship is part of Temple University’s DNA.
Ever since its founder, Russell H. Conwell, envisioned Temple “as an incubator for the talent and creativity of Philadelphia’s working class,” the university has always provided opportunities for students to drive progress, President Richard M. Englert said.
On Monday, Englert joined in announcing a $3 million Blackstone LaunchPad grant from the Blackstone Charitable Foundation that establishes a partnership among Temple, Philadelphia University and the University City Science Center to promote entrepreneurship as a viable career option and to provide students and alumni with the skills, knowledge and guidance to transform ideas into viable companies. The Pennsylvania Blackstone LaunchPad programs are expected to generate some 100 ventures and hundreds of jobs during the next five years.
