Join us for presentations from students participating in a broad range of experiential entrepreneurship courses to learn how they’re applying their education to creatively solve real problems.  Learn about innovative projects to develop new products, test new business concepts and launch and operate real businesses.

New this year will be the MIN-Corps MVP Challenge demo day - 23 projects from classes, clubs and labs across the University of Minnesota will share their prototypes to solve significant social, medical/health, environmental and/or manufacturing problems.

Carlson School Dean Sri Zaheer and Libraries Dean Lisa German will welcome everyone to the new Toaster Innovation Hub and kick off presentations by 8 experiential entrepreneurship courses. Atland Ventures will once again welcome their investors and alumni founders, as they share their progress with their student-owned venture capital firm.

The event will also announce entrepreneurship student/faculty awards and recognize David Kristal (BS'87), founder & CEO of Augeo, as the 2022 University of Minnesota Entrepreneur of the Year.
