The Entrepreneurs’ Center (EC) and the University of Dayton have joined forces to support business growth and enrich educational experiences.
This partnership allows students to apply their learning in practical business settings, while also providing tools and assistance to local businesses for expanded growth.
Together, academia and industry are bridged to provide enriched learning environments.
Dayton entrepreneur Luis Estevez, propelled by this collaboration, has been successful with his venture, AIMM.
AIMM has devised a revolutionary system for treating water that proficiently removes harmful PFAS chemicals and industrial colorants.
This development has the potential to significantly reduce environmental pollution and provide safer drinking water for communities around the world.
The EC, strategically located at 31 S.
