The University of Mississippi Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a university-based hub that supports student entrepreneurship and aims to increase the economic impact of Mississippi businesses, including those started by alumni. Based in Hall, Mississippi, it was established in 2014 and functions within the higher education sector. The center offers programs for students, mentoring, and entrepreneurship competitions as part of its mission. It serves University of Mississippi students and alumni who are developing new ventures and contributing to the state's entrepreneurial ecosystem. In April 2026, a memorandum of understanding between the University of Memphis and the University of Mississippi was signed to establish a Mid-South AI Research Consortium, signaling expanded regional collaboration. The center's work is embedded in the university setting and the broader Mississippi higher education community.
