*Description: This event would solve another large gap within the potential column of the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. A competition of some kind is desperately needed on Wake's campus. A pitch plan, business model competition, executive plan, or shark tank type of event are all possibilities. As of right now we have something called the <span data-scaytid="190" data-scayt_word="i2i">i2i</span> (inspiration to innovation) competition. This gives students a problem and some materials to invent and build a way to solve the problem. This is a great competition! I would also like to see one more relating a competition related to pitch a plan or venture idea pitching ideas for new ventures to a give problem. For starters, this could possibly be incorporated into the <span data-scaytid="257" data-scayt_word="i2i">i2i</span> competition to spice things up with a new aspect to the competition. Winners of this event now receive&nbsp;$1,000. &nbsp;I also see a business plan competition as a way to involve&nbsp;teachers from disciplines outside of the engineering and science departments. From this, students can be inspired by teachers in their discipline and find ways to be entrepreneurial themselves. Furthermore, this could also be twisted into an undergraduate elevator pitch competition for students with current or possible ventures.
