Located in the midpoint between Research Triangle Park and Northern Virginia, Norfolk is the ideal base camp to get a startup off the ground... and after spending the day working on the business, drive 10 minutes to the Atlantic ocean for some sun, sand and beach volleyball.

Students Tell About Their Ventures

Students from the Darden Graduate School of Business at UVA share what their entrepreneurial ventures are all about. Because they're live, you get to ask and have your questions answered. And if something captures your fancy, reach out afterward and become involved. Visit UVA's Innovate & Effectuate community.

Our Mission

If you're doing or planning something new, creative, innovative and need an environment to promote it, or the means by which to collaborate and work with local universities, schools, entrepreneurs, businesses and non-profits, Hampton Roads Innovations (HRI) is for you.

Launched in September 2011 with leading regional players to promote economic development and innovation, HRI doesn't re-create the good ground work and vision laid by others like the Hampton Roads Partnership. We work with them. Instead, we provide the rich collaborative-social platform to accelerate initiatives started by you. Join us either as an individual, a business or a group. It's FREE.
