The University of Southern Indiana’s Technology Commercialization Academy (TCA) teams will present pitch product opportunities at 11 a.m. Friday, August 10 in the Griffin Center located on the USI campus. The teams’ pitches are the result from the 12-week program that utilize their newly developed skills around Ideation, Feasibility Analysis (Business Model Canvas), Customer Validation (Jobs To Be Done), and Design Thinking (Design Sprints). The end goal is to develop innovative leaders and improve area economic development. The product pitches are open to the public as students will present to USI faculty and staff, local business leaders and regional entrepreneurs.
At the conclusion of presentations, audience members will have the opportunity to meet the teams and ask in-depth questions to learn more about their experience. This discussion will benefit the students and their ability to accept feedback and apply that to their experience through TCA. Students will have the opportunity to continue working on their products through USI programs, such as the Eagle Innovation Accelerator (http://www.usi.edu/EIA) and BIZCOM, during the academic year.
