Deadline extended for 2021 Innovation Challenge

ANGOLA — Money and time always seem to be in short supply for entrepreneurs and inventors. Trine University’s annual Innovation Challenge has provided cash prizes each year to area innovators for their best business and technology ideas. And this year, they have more time to work with. Trine innovation 1 has extended the deadline for campus and community members to submit projects to April 2, with the event planned for April 15. “We recognize that many people are still facing disruptions to their work and lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which can make them feel like they don’t have the time to put together the presentation they would like,” said Jason Blume, executive director of Trine innovation 1. “We hope that the extra time will give potential innovators the time they need to refine their products and business ideas.”
