The Innovate Marquette SmartZone was created to help coordinate, inspire, promote and lead our business, government, academic, and community leaders in efforts to leverage the unique set of resources, experience and advantages we have in Marquette to create a supportive environment and robust entrepreneurial eco-system in which entrepreneurs in all sectors can be recognized and promoted; where new tech-based business ideas can start, grow and succeed while existing ones can continue to innovate, thrive and expand.
