Innovation Workshops
Get connected to your entrepreneurial ecosystem
What are Innovation Workshops?
Our Innovation Workshops are dynamic, hands-on experiences that bring together students, educators, and industry leaders. These workshops follow a proven model:
Organization Overview: The host company provides insights into their organization - who they are, what they do, how they operate, and why they do it.
Innovation Challenge: A real-world challenge that the host would like solved is presented to participants.
Solution Generation: Students break into teams and collaborate to develop innovative solutions.
Pitch Presentation: Teams pitch their ideas back to the host company.
