The Okoboji Entrepreneurial Insittute creates significant momentum for the Iowa Lakes Corridor region to pursue becoming the most attractive region for entrepreneurs and new ventures in Iowa. 32 students coming from Buena Vista University, Iowa Lakes Community College, Iowa State University, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa are selected by their institutions to attend OEI. Students participate in an advanced study of entrepreneurship that includes seminars with successful entrepreneurs, business and community leaders; networking events; and mentoring opportunities to enhance their understanding of entrepreneurship opportunities in Iowa. To date, over 400 young Iowa college students have graduated from the program.
The 17th Annual Okoboji Entrepreneurial Institute is (tentatively) being planned for June 18-22, 2023 in the Iowa Lakes area. Students are housed with host families in the Iowa Lakes region and have a schedule that allows them to experience a taste of the "lakes life" in our region.
OEI is funded by local, regional and statewide organizations, individuals and companies. These funds cover meals, venues and events for the students' time in Okoboji.
