Engage with UNC Innovation
Welcome Tar Heels
Stop by this brand-new space the next time you’re in Chapel Hill. An intersection of programming and coworking that connects a thriving community of innovators, the Junction is located directly across from UNC’s campus on Franklin Street. The Junction offers a new way to connect with UNC-Chapel Hill and Innovate Carolina, the University’s central team for innovation, entrepreneurship and economic development. Visit us any time to work from the space, join a workshop, attend an event, network with industry, become a mentor or even judge a pitch competition.

We are always looking for Tar Heels to inspire students through panel discussions and fireside chats or judge a competition and provide valuable feedback as student’s create new ventures.
Tar Heel Alumni and Partner Alliance
Consider supporting the innovation and entrepreneurial community. With your gift, we can bridge the expertise of Carolina’s most successful professional entrepreneurs to the passion of our most enterprising young students. We can create a global community of innovators who are not only connected to the University but to one another. Support is critical to help us maximize the knowledge and relationships that exist in the larger Carolina community. We can help alumni entrepreneurs uncover ways to help the entrepreneurial minds of tomorrow – and their fellow Tar Heel innovators of today – make the difference possible on a social, economic and human scale.
