Nearly 50 years ago, Babson College established its first center for entrepreneurship. The center was later named the Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship in 1998 in recognition of the generous support of alumnus Arthur M. Blank '63, H'98.

Today, the Blank Center is the home for the exploration and practice of entrepreneurship and new venture creation at Babson and is part of the Arthur M. Blank School for Entrepreneurial Leadership at Babson College.

The Blank School is grounded in values-based leadership and enhances Babson’s entrepreneurial mindset beyond the classroom, equipping learners to grow as entrepreneurial leaders across industries and stages of life. 

The center's programs, learning experiences, and thought leadership bring to life Babson’s Entrepreneurial Thought & Action® methodology and prepare our stakeholders to identify and pursue entrepreneurial opportunity. We catalyze innovative ideas, develop entrepreneurial mindsets and skills, and inspire action.
