University-Wide Innovation Competition
Sac State University-Wide Innovation Competition
The Sacramento State: University-Wide Innovation Competition is an opportunity for innovators and entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas, technologies, and/or businesses while receiving mentorship, and the opportunity to win prize money and a seat at a CSU-wide pitch competition.
Innovators and startup founders need to be able to articulate and communicate their value proposition to attract customers and/or investors as they launch and grow their businesses. This opportunity serves as a growth point for these innovators and founders as they will need to hone their messaging and presentation abilities to be able to raise funds and gain visibility from the community.
