Teams of 2-5 students pitch their ideas for a new business or non-profit in food, bio-renewables, ecosystems, animal science, plant science or sustainability.
Dr. Mark Gagnon is available to help students form teams, talk ideas — or meet with student clubs early in 2021.
The competition is open to all Penn State students. Each team must include one Penn State College of Ag Sciences student.
