Penn students interested in entrepreneurship had the opportunity to explore resources, build connections, and identify their next steps at Venture Lab’s 2026 Entrepreneurship Expo. Held on August 26 at Tangen Hall, the event brought the Penn community together to learn more about the programs, tools, funding opportunities, mentorship, and spaces available to support entrepreneurial exploration and growth.
The Expo attracted strong interest from across the University, with over 800 student registrants and 500 attendees checking in. Throughout the evening, students were able to discover different ways to engage with entrepreneurship at Penn, whether they were developing an idea, looking to build new skills, hoping to join a team, or simply beginning to explore entrepreneurship as a possible career path.
By gathering a range of resources in one place, the Entrepreneurship Expo gave attendees an accessible starting point for navigating Penn’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. The event also offered students the chance to connect in person, ask questions, and learn how Venture Lab can support them at different stages of their journeys.
The Expo may be over, but there are many more opportunities to connect, learn, and build throughout the academic year.
