For Industry

For more than 25 years, we have delivered robust, integrated solutions to industry-leading companies looking for the next breakout product or service. Through the process, our partners gain valuable insights while connecting directly to talented students. Meanwhile, our students get real-world experience, enabling them to apply newly-founded skills in a practical, applied context. 

We have worked across diverse industries, including health care, software, industrial safety and transportation, consumer goods, personal banking and finance, and more. Learn more by visiting our Past Projects Sponsors page.
