2025 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge
McDaniel College student finalists compete for a $5,000 top prize in this annual competition by pitching their entrepreneurial ideas and products to a panel of experts.
The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge (formerly Innovation Challenge) is an integral part of the Program in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Working in teams over the course of a semester, the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge invites students from any major to develop business plans and a pitch for an innovative solution to a real world problem. The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge Training Program, a five-week program, leads up to the competition and is designed to develop student entrepreneurial ideas.
