Innovation Challenge
The Innovation Challenge is a collaboration between UC's Center for Entrepreneurship and the College of Engineering's Student Tribunal. The challenge offers students an opportunity to engage in a semester-long program focused on entrepreneurship and innovation. Meetings are held every week in the College of Business, and all participants earn a stipend up to $750 and enjoy free dinner every Wednesday. Join us and turn your ideas into reality and be part of an exciting journey of innovation and creativity.
The Innovation Challenge is designed to give engineering students the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship in a supportive, hands-on environment. Whether you already have a business idea or are simply curious about innovation, anyone can participate. Students will connect with peers, faculty, and staff who can help bring ideas to life while learning how to develop prototypes, create compelling pitch decks, and confidently present their concepts. Participants also gain valuable exposure to entrepreneurs and industry leaders throughout the Greater Cincinnati region, with finalists competing for cash prizes at the end of the program.
