All the excitement and great ideas
Our first-ever MSU Innovation Accelerator was a huge success (even though we had no power for a tiny bit).
We had fantastic participants who shared their 1-minute pitches and then built strong arguments on behalf of the top 5 ideas.
Check out highlights from the early part of the day:
If you see the participants around, thank them for being so willing to share their ideas and build something great.
