As spring comes around so does the annual Innovation Challenge Finals! After months of preparation our 4 teams will pitch for their chance to win 10,000 dollars, and you can help decide! Learn more about the teams and how you can participate at : https://lnkd.in/g3ayfJ6 We have worked so hard to adjust and make sure that the event is accessible for everyone so we will be hosting a hybrid model of our traditional challenge.
