The Center for Business and Information Technologies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette supports the university's economic development agenda through research development and technology transfer. The center was established to provide a collaborative entrepreneurial environment where the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, other universities, the State, economic development agencies and the business community can come together to innovate, create value and make Louisiana a better place to live, work and do business.

The Center sees conducting research, developing software and systems, and creating commercializable products and services to transfer technology to the state and the region as a strategy for economic development and diversification.
