Entrepreneurship Center and Launch Lab
Linfield has played a pivotal role in fostering a culture of innovation over the years. In February, Linfield became home to the Launch Mid-Valley Coffee Club for Startups monthly meet-ups. This was the first step in continuing Linfield University’s reputation as a hub for entrepreneurial activity. MEDP has led a partnership with Linfield, McMinnville Industrial Promotions (MIP), and the City of McMinnville to collaborate on entrepreneurial support programming. This includes developing a coordinated ecosystem that includes access to networks, training, and capital.
