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.
