John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation

Address Challenges. Explore Opportunities. Build What’s Next. 

At The University of Toledo, we believe one of our greatest assets is our connection to the region we call home. Open to businesses across Northwest Ohio, the Neff Hub creates opportunities for you to work directly with UToledo students on real business challenges and new venture opportunities.  

How It Works 

1. Define: You’ll work with the Neff Hub to identify and define a business challenge or new venture opportunity that can be explored through a semester-long student project. 
2. Recruit: The Neff Hub will recruit and interview students for the project, selecting a team whose skills and academic backgrounds align with the work. 
3. Execute: Throughout the semester, students will conduct research, analyze findings and develop work based on the needs of the project.  
4. Present: At the end of the semester, students will present their completed work, findings and deliverables. 

Why Partner with UToledo? 

Partnering with the Neff Hub gives you access to UToledo students who bring new perspectives, academic knowledge and skills from across various disciplines. Throughout the semester, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a real business challenge or opportunity while connecting with students who are preparing to become the next generation of professionals in Northwest Ohio.
