Description
Witness innovation in action!
On June 27th, join us for the 9th Annual InventOR Finals! Stewarded by the PSU Center for Entrepreneurship, and hosted by the University of Portland, this exciting FREE event showcases Oregon's brightest collegiate innovators as they pitch their prototypes and compete for $30,000 in cash prizes!
This FREE event is an incredible opportunity to see what Oregon’s next generation of innovators is working on. You’ll hear live pitches from 20 finalist teams representing 18 different colleges and universities across the state, explore a hands-on prototype exhibition where you can dive deeper into their projects, speak 1:1 with the student teams, and learn more about their vision and entrepreneurial journeys.
These students are tackling real-world challenges with heart, ingenuity, and big ideas, and your support helps them feel seen, encouraged, and inspired to keep going. The event will culminate with an awesome reception at Havalina complete with food, drinks, and live music! Everyone is welcome, colleagues, friends, families and children!
