Innovation Challenge 2009/10
About the Competition
The UMass Amherst Innovation Challenge (IC) educates students in innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship. The competition is designed to help students and young alumni who want to pursue a novel business idea, develop a technology into a marketable product, or have a new approach to a difficult problem or compelling opportunity. The goal is for interdisciplinary teams to conceptualize a product with regard to its scientific and technological design, and then create a business plan for the product’s commercialization.
Judges of the competition are entrepreneurs, legal experts, and consultants who volunteer their time to meet with students who are interested in marketing their new ideas. Learn more about the history of the competition.
