We provide individuals with the skills, resources and connections necessary to move an idea from problem recognition to sustainable enterprise. We want to help all members of the Lehigh University community create, innovate and drive change by making entrepreneurship resources accessible.
Inclusiveness
Our programs are open to everyone within the Lehigh University community. We engage entrepreneurship practitioners and related professionals through both our alumni network and Lehigh Valley innovation pipeline to educate and mentor our students in and out of the classroom.
Integration
Innovation is most likely to occur at the intersection of disciplines. Because we believe that the elements of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship drive value creation, our programs, courses and infrastructure are available to students in every discipline.
Implementation
Lehigh students have the opportunity to start a business venture or non-profit organization while still in the supportive environment of the University. Lehigh entrepreneurs will be well equipped to create both innovative solutions and sustainable value.
We at the Baker Institute were greatly saddened by the passing of Dexter F. Baker on November 1, 2012, who founded our institute in 2010 through a generous donation from the Baker Foundation.
