The University of Delaware in Newark has partnered
with Delaware Technology Park and Discover
Bank on a new six-story, 100,000-square-foot
fintech building. It will be located at UD’s Science,
Technology and Advanced Research (STAR)
Campus, where UD’s Lerner College will house hightech
labs and facilities for research and teaching.
Potential plans and programs include a cybersecurity
leadership center that would link cybersecurity
programs between the Lerner College and the College of Engineering, a space for human-machine learning and social media data analysis, and a
multimedia studio.
Babson College in Babson Park, Massachusetts,
has established the Butler Institute for Free
Enterprise Through Entrepreneurship. Funded by a
US$10 million gift from the John E. Butler family,
the Butler Institute will support research projects
and educational opportunities that explore how
governmental policies, social values, and ethical
business can influence entrepreneurship, free
enterprise, and prosperity for all.
