Each Atlantic Coast Conference university has set out to find their very best students to compete against the other ACC schools in this inaugural year of the ACC InVenture Prize, an innovation competition.

On Wednesday, April 6th, at 8:00pm, UNC will be competing at Georgia Tech in front of a panel of expert judges. This year we have sent CommuniGift, a UNC Student Start-Up, to compete for the ACC InVenture Prize. Click here to learn more about CommuniGift. We will be hosting a live film screening at 1789 Venture Lab, which will also serve as a live university fan-section, recorded by UNC-TV and broadcasted live during the competition.

The ACC InVenture Prize is a collaborative effort by institutional leadership from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). It represents an opportunity to stimulate undergraduate entrepreneurial activity and increase student-faculty engagement, to celebrate and highlight the exceptional creativity and ingenuity of our students, and to inspire a greater sense of camaraderie across the conference.

Reservations are limited to the first 50 to sign-up. Food and beverages will be provided as well. This is also an incredible opportunity to meet other students involved with Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UNC.

If you have any questions, please contact Sean Petersen at seanp@unc.edu.
