The Ronnie K. Irani Center For The Creation Of Economic Wealth (I Ccew)

The Ronnie K. Irani Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth (I-CCEW) is an economic development organization that specializes in high-impact projects centered on technology commercialization, social entrepreneurship & innovation, software & web development, agile product design, and entrepreneurial support. Founded in 2006, I-CCEW is devoted to advancing early stage ideas and technologies by utilizing a problem-solving methodology that combines management consulting best practices and the Lean Startup method to deliver actionable recommendations and strategies for new technologies and products, tech startups, social entrepreneurship ventures and new businesses. We hire approximately 100 student interns every year from OU's best and brightest across all colleges and majors to work on these problem-solving projects across our offices in Norman, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City. We also work to foster the entrepreneurial environment of Oklahoma by providing support for programs such as The Mine (http://theminetulsa.com/) for young professionals, OK Coders (http://okcoders.com/) for those learning software skills, and TEDxOU (http://tedxou.com/) to provide a platform for Oklahoma's best ideas.
