NC State University Product Innovation Lab Student Showcase 2025

Join us for NC State’s Product Innovation Lab Showcase, where multidisciplinary teams of graduate students from engineering, management, microbiology, and textiles will showcase their innovative, market-driven projects. Over this past semester, they identified real market needs, conceptualized creative solutions, prototyped their designs, and built go-to-market strategies.

Explore the projects, meet teams & vote with mock “investor dollars.”

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