The planned Inclusive Innovation Labs at Howard University (HU) has been canceled.

Inclusive Innovation Incubator (In3) was teaming up with the prominent local HBCU and New York-based financial tech company Fiserv to launch the Inclusive Innovation Labs this spring exclusively for university students, faculty and alumni. The inaugural program was supposed to help 15 minority entrepreneurs launch and scale their business plans.
