SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) formally opened the NYSTEC Business Center of Excellence during a ceremony held Sept. 19, 2025.
A $500,000 pledge from New York State Technology Enterprise Corporation (NYSTEC) sparked the initiative to support the creation of an interdisciplinary business center in SUNY Poly’s Donovan Hall. To acknowledge the donation, the new hub will bear the name NYSTEC Business Center of Excellence.
The center will serve as a vital hub for innovation, entrepreneurship, and interdisciplinary education, SUNY Poly said in its announcement.
It includes an AI & Business Lab, which is about exploring the “transformative” impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on business, along with a business-ethics initiative, which offers programs and events to address the “moral complexities” of modern business.
The center also includes an entrepreneurship and innovation hub that provides support for student startups, mentorship, and networking opportunities. It also has an AI trading room, which is described as an environment for students to engage with real-world financial-market simulations.
