NC State will host the fourth annual ACC InVenture Prize competition on April 16 and 17.

The Competition

Each Atlantic Coast Conference university will send a team of students to compete against other ACC schools. The student teams will pitch their inventions or businesses to a live audience and panel of judges, and will compete for $30,000 in prizes. During the first night of competition, judges will evaluate and select five teams to move to the final round based on the quality of their idea, the business model, entrepreneurship, and the likelihood of future success.

The Final Round

The final round, to be held on April 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Stewart Theatre at Talley Student Union, will feature these five finalists and will be broadcast on television by PBS affiliates up and down the east coast.
