​2016 Conference​

The EDA University Center for Economic Development at SUBR was established with a grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to help accelerate regional business expansion. It is housed in the College of Business and the mission of the Center is to link businesses with the resources, market information, and financing that will enable them to effectively introduce new products, win new contracts, improve efficiency, and grow successfully. 

This year's conference is centered on the theme of "The Role of Universities as Anchors in Advancing Sustainable Innovation in Economic Development".  Our thought leaders will make presentations and lead the theme. Join us for developing and sustaining an entrepreneurial and innovative culture in Louisiana.
