This summer, our students will have the opportunity to participate in the AI Applied to Entrepreneurship Experience Miami, an immersive 10-day program focused on two of the most relevant fields of today: Artificial Intelligence and entrepreneurship.
It will take place from June 22 to June 30, 2026, at Miami Dade College. Throughout the program, participants will divide their experience between the AI Center and The Idea Center at Miami Dade College. AI-focused sessions will take place at the AI Center, a nationally recognized hub for applied AI learning, while project development, collaborative work, and certification-related activities will be carried out at The Idea Center, the College’s entrepreneurship and innovation hub. This dual approach ensures a balance between technical training and real-world application.
AI for Entrepreneurship: The program
The academic experience is designed to combine conceptual understanding with hands-on application. Students will explore how Artificial Intelligence can be used to support key entrepreneurial processes such as ideation, research, communication, app creation, data analysis, and automation.
Through a combination of interactive sessions, practical exercises, and real-world challenges, participants will develop a working understanding of how AI can enhance productivity, decision-making, and business development.
At the end of the program, students will receive official certificates from Google, Miami Dade College, and CIS University.
Miami offers a unique environment for innovation and entrepreneurship. The city has become one of the fastest-growing startup ecosystems in the United States, with over $900 million raised by startups in Q1 2025. It is currently ranked #28 globally in the Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2025 and continues to show one of the fastest growth rates in the country.
This dynamic context allows students to connect academic learning with real-world exposure through visits to innovation hubs, incubators, and leading technology and business organizations.
In addition to academic and professional activities, students will also experience Miami’s cultural richness, gaining a broader perspective of the city’s creative and international environment.
For us as a university, this program represents a unique opportunity to integrate Artificial Intelligence, entrepreneurship, and international exposure into a single academic experience. We consider it especially valuable because it goes beyond traditional learning: students not only acquire knowledge, but also learn how to apply it in real contexts, interact with industry environments, and understand how innovation ecosystems operate globally.
This combination of practical application, global exposure, and forward-looking skills development prepares students to better navigate an increasingly complex and technology-driven professional landscape.
