In 2020, UT Arlington received special appropriation from the Texas Legislature to establish a new Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Innovation. Led by Associate Vice President for Research Kimberly Mayer, the center’s mission is to enable the University to engage more meaningfully with local companies and businesses and to serve as an engine for economic recovery and growth in Arlington and the North Texas region. Among its top priorities are supporting students and faculty throughout the innovation process and developing an incubator that can offer services to fledgling UTA-led businesses.
