Welcome, Changemakers
By Jess Ignasky
This January, the Integrated Innovation Institute welcomed 21 new students to its campuses in Pittsburgh and Silicon Valley. This cohort, part of the MSTV and MSTV Dual-Degree programs, will begin their program journey in Pittsburgh before moving to the Silicon Valley campus this summer. The iii community is excited to support these students on their journey to Launch What's Next.
Students will develop the framework needed to solve the most complex and challenging problems facing the 21st century as innovators and entrepreneurs. They will learn the necessary skills for launching their own ventures, expand their expertise in emerging technologies, and more.
Upon graduation, MSTV students will be uniquely positioned to launch their first venture through Carnegie Mellon's pre-incubator program, VentureBridge, receiving mentorship and support as they turn their startups into a reality.
