The Innovation Challenge is a test of entrepreneurial creativity and a fun way of meeting new collaborators and friends. The event is open to all University of Nebraska–Lincoln students. If you will be participating with an established team, please note that your team must consist of members from at least two different UNL colleges.

Sponsored and hosted by the Center for Entrepreneurship, the challenge requires student teams to work on a creative task (a secret until the event) over the course of a weekend. Teams work on the challenge over the weekend, then return on Monday evening, September 19 to present their solutions to a panel of judges. Prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place teams.
