The McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Rice University's Baker Institute has a mandate to conduct non-partisan policy-relevant research. The center develops academic papers intended for publication in peer-reviewed journals, as well as policy reports, issue briefs, white papers, Op. Eds., wiki pages and blog articles. This work develops understanding of entrepreneurship and innovation as phenomena that create economic growth, and conveys this understanding to academics, policy-makers, entrepreneurs, students and the public. The McNair Center also takes an active role in helping entrepreneurs and developing entrepreneurship ecosystems.

Our new [[Guide to Entrepreneurship at Rice University]] provides an overview of resources available for emerging entrepreneurs of the Rice University community, including students, faculty, and alumni. We details key campus-wide institutions and programs provided, as well as details on events and resources available through these organizations. These institutions build up the Rice entrepreneurship ecosystem through networking events with fellow Rice entrepreneurs, business plan and pitch competitions and lunch events with leading entrepreneurs in different sectors.<br>

The McNair Center makes various informational and educational pages publicly available. These pages help the center to fulfill its duty as an community resource on entrepreneurship and innovation. More pages are added each week, so please check back often.
