About NACET

NACET’s Mission

Northern Arizona Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology fosters business growth and economic vitality, creating high-quality jobs for the region. Partnering with a wide variety of non-retail, service, manufacturing, high technology, science and renewable energy firms, NACET offers a hands-on business incubation engagement program designed to transform innovation into viable companies.

NACET’s Vision for the Future

NACET has four strategic initiatives:

• To nurture startup and growth-stage companies with coaching, mentoring, training, and access to resources to encourage growth, stabilization, employment and community foundations.
• To promote entrepreneurship as a career path to NAU students and young people throughout the community so we can retain our best and brightest to take root in our community and create their own opportunities.
• To support Native American entrepreneurs through the Native American Incubator Network program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and hosted in its first phase by the Navajo Nation and the White Mountain Apache.
• To foster a culture of entrepreneurship in Northern Arizona.
