Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship partners with Palm Desert iHub

The California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) School of Entrepreneurship and Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship (IECE) have entered into a new partnership with the city of Palm Desert to operate the city’s business incubator and resource center.

The iHub assists aspiring entrepreneurs, startups and technology-driven enterprises seeking mentorship, resources and networking opportunities. Now, these entrepreneurs will have access to CSUSB’s renowned expertise in entrepreneurship education and innovation.

“We are thrilled about this partnership with the city of Palm Desert,” said Mike Stull, director of the CSUSB School of Entrepreneurship and IECE. “This collaboration reflects our dedication to nurturing a culture of innovation and supporting entrepreneurial endeavors. The iHub is an instrumental catalyst for empowering local businesses and driving economic growth.”

The iHub, which first opened in Nov. 2021 and houses CSUSB’s Institute for Public Management and Governance as well as the university’s hospitality management and cybersecurity programs, is designed to inspire, educate and connect entrepreneurs with industry experts and resources vital for success. CSUSB entrepreneurship faculty, staff, students and alumni actively participate in mentoring programs, providing invaluable guidance and expertise to the burgeoning entrepreneurial community.

The co-working space at the Palm Desert iHub is ideal for home-based businesses, remote workers, business meetings and businesses relocating to Palm Desert which have not yet moved into a commercial space.

The iHub is located across the street from the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus at 37023 Cook Street, Suite 102.
