Celebrate six regional social innovators as they prepare to unleash the power of business to create a better world!
The entrepreneurs:
Six
early stage social entrepreneurs in PSU’s Social Innovation Incubator
(SII) will be pitching their ideas for one minute. The pitch is their
final challenge in the SII Circuit Program, our 6-month bootcamp to
accelerate the evolution of their social ventures. The program connects
them with expert mentors and peers for advice, support and
collaboration.
The event:

innovators. Come give them a boost and see how local entrepreneurs are
using the power of business to create a better world. Hear expert judges
deliver insights and suggestions to spur the innovators to new heights.
