GRAND FORKS – A collaboration between the University of North Dakota Center for Innovation Foundation and the UND Alumni Association & Foundation offer a new tenancy option to North Dakotan entrepreneurs: The Food Incubator.
The Center for Innovation (CFI) Foundation is offering entrepreneur coaching and access to commercial kitchen space to assist food-based entrepreneurs in advancing their business ideas.
“We are excited to expand our entrepreneur services and offer a kitchen incubator in Grand Forks. This project would not have been possible without the collaboration and team at the UND Alumni Association & Foundation,” said Travis Fretheim, the CFI Incubator manager.
“The University of North Dakota has always fostered an entrepreneurial spirit, so we are excited to be able to help out this new venture through the use of the commercial kitchen in the Gorecki Alumni Center,” said DeAnna Carlson Zink, CEO of the UND Alumni Association & Foundation. “The Food Incubator gives entrepreneurs a new path in which to explore their big ideas. Grand Forks and the region will be the beneficiaries of their successes.”
