Officials at Framingham State University will celebrate the opening of the school’s new Entrepreneur Innovation Center with a ceremony on site this afternoon.
The incubator provides office space for area entrepreneurs, as well as internship opportunities for FSU students. It opened in January in FSU’s Maynard Building on Framingham’s Vernon Street, becoming the second incubating space to open in MetroWest in the last year. TechSandBox, a technology incubator in Hopkinton, launched in May 2013.
Robert Krim, an FSU professor who oversees the university’s entrepreneurship concentration, is leading the Innovation Center as director.
In a statement, FSU called the new Innovation Center “an exciting resource that stands to benefit the entire community.”
Speakers at today’s ceremony, which begins at 12:30 p.m., include Legal Seafoods President and CEO Roger Berkowitz, State Treasurer Steven Grossman, and Commissioner of Higher Education Richard Freeland.
