Join us for the NC State University Product Innovation Lab Student Showcase, where multidisciplinary teams of graduate students from engineering, management, microbiology, and textiles will showcase their innovative, market-driven projects developed throughout the semester.

Over the past several months, these teams have identified real market needs, conceptualized creative solutions, prototyped their designs, and built go-to-market strategies. Guided by expert faculty mentors, students have taken a hands-on approach to customer discovery, technical development, and business planning—transforming ideas into viable startup concepts that address real-world challenges.

Come and meet the student teams, explore their solutions, and vote for your favorite projects using mock “investor dollars.”

This event is co-hosted by RIoT and Raleigh Founded and sponsored by the Lampe Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering.
