2016
In 2016, the Ben Franklin Technology Program (BFTP/NEP) honored ESC in recognition of the total number of students worked on Ben Franklin company projects topping 2,000. Ben Franklin News stated, “The ESC is a key university resource to BFTP/NEP clients that provides pivotal technical expertise and support. Linking regional early-stage technology firms and established manufacturer clients with the resources of Pennsylvania’s colleges and universities is an important part of BFTP/NEP’s mission. Lehigh University’s Enterprise Systems Center (ESC) has been a long-time economic development partner of Ben Franklin and the organizations have worked together since the program’s inception.
