Vision
Created and organized by faculty, the objective of The InVenture Prize @ Georgia Tech is to create incentives, resources, and a structure for undergraduate student innovation and entrepreneurship in a fun, high-profile event. We seek to foster and nurture a sustained, entrepreneurial culture at Georgia Tech with an innovative bottom-up approach. This competition will help promote Georgia Tech’s mission of "providing the state of Georgia with ... innovation ... it needs to shape a prosperous and sustainable future and quality of life for its citizens."
The goal of this effort is to encourage an interest in invention, innovation, and entrepreneurial lifestyle amongst GT students and create an infrastructure, culture, and focus that galvanizes, captures, and highlights student inventiveness and inventorship.
