We are thrilled to announce that NYU has been named a Top 10 Ignition School by Fast Company and Inc. Magazine, a recognition that underscores the University's commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.

Colleges and universities on the inaugural list were selected based on their track records across metrics such as the number of venture-backed companies founded by students and alumni, and government research and development expenditures.

At NYU, we pride ourselves on cultivating a vibrant ecosystem for aspiring entrepreneurs. Through initiatives here at the Entrepreneurial Institute, students, faculty, staff, and researchers gain access to mentorship, coaching, funding, accelerators, and more. By helping nurture and scale early-stage veture ideas, NYU provides critical support to bring groundbreaking ideas to life.

This recognition as a top Ignition School reflects NYU's ongoing dedication to preparing the next generation of innovators. By empowering students and faculty with hands-on experience and a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem, NYU continues to be a leader in driving change across industries.

The future of innovation is bright at NYU, and we are excited to see what our community will achieve next! Check out the full Ignition Schools list!
