Wood Enterprise Institute

Wood Enterprise Institute

The Wood Enterprise Institute is a student-run entrepreneurial venture managed by students with the support of the Department of Sustainable Biomaterials and the College of Natural Resources and Environment at Virginia Tech. Our goal is to successfully introduce a wood product from concept to market, through new product development, product marketing, product manufacturing, and sales. Through this experience, students learn how to organize, manage, and improve a business in the most sustainable manner.
