Research verdict
Maybe-include. SJU has a modest entrepreneurship ecosystem centered on the Haub Innovation Center (on-campus incubator with workshops and mentoring), an annual Innovation Competition ($2,500+ cash awards), a developing commercialization program (post-USciences merger), and an entrepreneurship academic major/minor. The ecosystem lacks an accelerator, venture fund, equity programs, known startup outcomes, and a documented incubator cohort pipeline. Best classified as a modest business-school-anchor innovation hub with emerging tech transfer capability following the USciences merger.
