Fayette Launchbox

Fayette Launchbox LaunchBox is a no-cost business accelerator designed to connect early-stage startups with the resources and support necessary for growth!

LaunchBox is a signature program developed by Invent Penn State, a $30-million initiative to generate economic development, create jobs, and drive student career success. The initiative, started in 2015 by Penn State President Eric J. Barron, redefines the University’s land-grant mission to include entrepreneurship and innovation programs, including the development of “Innovation Hubs” in campus communities across the Commonwealth.
