The U.S. India Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s annual Spirit of Innovation Competition is a program designed for current undergraduate and graduate students in North Texas to support technology innovation and entrepreneurship among our local students. The Competition encourages participation from students who can create solutions to real-life problems. The solution is expected to be technology-based and designed to solve a current problem or make an existing product better.

Students will receive mentoring in both the refinement of their technological innovations from a technical perspective, as well as in the development of their business plans to be able to take their ideas to the next level. Students will compete in both a technology round and a business plan round of competition.

Past participants reported that they benefited greatly from the experience. Not only did they garner resources and valuable insight to move their ideas forward, but they gained presentation experience and press coverage of their work.
