About
The Entrepreneurship Exchange is a virtual certificate program created by the William Davidson Institute and funded by a grant from the Stevens Initiative that equips undergraduate students in the United States, Morocco, Libya, and Egypt to tackle local challenges through practical, business-based solutions that drive civic engagement. The program will run across three cohorts, each ending with a pitch competition. At the end of the full program cycle, members of the top two winning teams from across all three cohorts will participate in a study trip. North African students from the winning teams will travel to Michigan for a one-week immersion in the U.S. entrepreneurial ecosystem, while U.S.-based students from the winning teams will travel to Morocco to learn from regional entrepreneurship experts.
