Idea to Product Competition Infomation Session

Published by Laura Thomson on September 2, 2008 in Entrepreneurship, On Campus and Program News. 0 Comments


Idea To Product® is a unique academic competition looking at more complex or technology based ideas at their earliest stage. I2P is not a business plan competition per se. I2P® only requires a 1-2 page submission, done according to a strict format, outlining an idea for a product (or service) and its market. This approach makes it possible for students and faculty across the campus to develop and present ideas, obtain feedback, and start the process of invention development and commercialization.

SLU Students, faculty and staff are invited to the following information session on the Idea to Product submission process and the competition itself:

Frost Campus: Thur, September 4, 3:30-4:30 PM in Cook 234
