The CADE Program is the MSU Research Foundation's internship program designed to drive the entrepreneurial community by hiring young professionals to collaborate with selected startup teams.

The Conquer Accelerator program selects five startup companies and accelerates their business development. The goal is to not only accelerate the development of companies but also encourage private equity investment and prepare for federal grants. To develop entrepreneurial talent, Conquer provides each team with a student intern to join the 10-week program and ultimately hire them at the end of the program.
