Wolstein Entrepreneurial Leadership Summit

The Bert L. and Iris S. Wolstein Entrepreneurial Leadership Summit is Fisher College of Business’s premier platform for entrepreneurial leadership and innovation. Honoring the legacy of Bert and Iris Wolstein, the summit brings together students, alumni, industry leaders and innovators to exchange ideas, build connections and explore the future of business. It inspires bold thinking, celebrates collaboration and empowers the next generation of entrepreneurs to create meaningful impact.

At the heart of the event is a showcase of pioneering collaborations and unique strategies that exemplify the region’s creative entrepreneurial pulse ― and Fisher and Ohio State’s impact in shaping it. From the community-building collaboration among the Lion Cub's Cookies, Aardvark Wine & Beer and Ohio State Alumni Association, to Fox in the Snow's thoughtful approach to growth through strategic partnerships, and ADvantage's entrepreneurial mindset for driving innovation and opportunity, these organizations are demonstrating how collaboration can spark new ideas, strengthen connections and accelerate growth. Attendees will gain insight into the power of collaboration, the challenges organizations navigate when building meaningful partnerships and the innovative outcomes these connections can make possible.

The summit is a platform for Ohio State students, alumni and makers to gather and explore the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship. A Student Entrepreneur Marketplace will highlight the very latest products, services and technology created by Ohio State students, many of whom have directly benefitted from the Bert L. and Iris S. Wolstein Entrepreneurial Leadership Initiative.

Whether launching a first venture, scaling a startup or jumping into the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, the Wolstein Summit offers a unique opportunity to engage with thought leaders, brand builders and creative minds who are shaping the region’s future.
