Our visit to the Alan B. Levan | NSU Broward Center of Innovation was more than just a tour, it was a powerful reminder of what truly drives entrepreneurial success. One of the standout moments was meeting Aurelia Edwards, founder of Nailstry. Her approach is transforming and reshaping the beauty industry. What stood out in our conversation was her unwavering focus on solutions and execution, never once did she mention government support. Instead, she emphasised that entrepreneurs must take charge, leverage opportunities, and build with what they have. This mindset was reflected throughout the centre. What makes the Alan B. Levan | NSU Broward Center of Innovation even more remarkable is that it is almost entirely self-sufficient, operating without government funding. Instead, it thrives through private sector partnerships and generates revenue by offering its state-of-the-art facilities to a dynamic ecosystem of emerging businesses and innovators. This creates a mutually beneficial environment where companies can access world-class resources while contributing to the sustainability of the centre. A huge thank you to Jaap Donath, Ph.D., for hosting us and sharing the incredible work being done at the Levan Center. Looking forward to sharing these insights with Wits Business School’s Entrepreneurship Crucible and continuing to champion the kind of thinking that drives real impact.
