The LaunchX Innovation Summer Program is a 2 week program where students solve a problem within an existing corporation to give them the hands-on experience in technology, business, and a changing workforce.
About The Innovation Summer Program
Students will grow their skills and mindset as problem solvers and business leaders during the Innovation Summer Program as we challenge them to apply their learnings, leverage resources, and work together in teams to tackle challenges and innovate for an established company.

Experiential Learner

Adaptive Problem Solver
You can navigate facts, concepts, procedures, and strategies to come up with solutions for sustainable and economic growth in a workforce.
Growth Mindset
You view challenges and setbacks as opportunity. You believe that with work, your skills can improve over time.
Corporate Sponsors
While students in both programs will learn and grow under a robust curriculum and mentorship, the Innovation Summer Program gives students the opportunity to develop big solutions to problems for an existing organization which differs from the entrepreneurship program that is centered around students building their own startups.
In the Innovation Summer Program, students work with their corporate mentors, immerse themselves in understanding the specifics of this market landscape, develop innovative solutions with an understanding of their corporate sponsor capabilities, and create the go-to-market strategy, then present their plans to the company.
We are excited to collaborate with amazing established companies that are leaders in technology and innovation. We will be announcing our Corporate Sponsors early in 2023.
