Entrepreneur & Innovation Exchange (EIX) is a pioneering new online resource whose goal is to dramatically improve the success rate of new business ventures. Dedicated to entrepreneurship students, professors and entrepreneurs themselves, the website is a free learning resource designed to advance and share the best research and other knowledge on entrepreneurship, and to make it relevant and readable to aspiring and practicing entrepreneurs. EIX ( www.eiexchange.com ) is a non-profit, peer reviewed resource, supported by the Schulze Foundation which open for submissions from academics, practitioners and policy makers committed to entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneur & Innovation Exchange recognizes students and professionals whose submissions to EIX have exceptional merit through a Schulze Award. Winners receive funding for a scholarship to be donated on their behalf to a college or university of their choice. In addition, Schulze Award authors may be distinguished guests presenting at the annual EIX conference held in Minneapolis in September.
Schulze Awards are a significant achievement, exhibiting quality of thought and workmanship as they pass through the EIX review community. The Schulze Award winners for 2015 are:
