LOOKING FORWARD TO 2024!

2023 was an exciting year for the Collaborative. Highlights for me included our first in-person Global Summit in three years, a record-breaking Student Challenge, and the hiring of Jennie Backstrom as our program coordinator! Read more highlights from the Collaborative and the Babson Academy in our 2023 Impact Report.

With 42 member institutions in 30 countries, we are entering 2024 with the largest and most diverse membership in our history. In the coming months, we look forward to seeing many of you at the Global Summit in India, and to the launch of Ideation in Entrepreneurship Education: Process, Practice, and Mindset, a new book written and edited by Collaborative members. Happy new year, everyone!
