The annual competition is overseen by the Applied Research Division of Cambrian College says co-organizer Cody Cacciotti. He says the annual competition gives students a platform to pitch innovative ideas, products and services to a panel of industry and college experts with two of this year’s winners pitching new apps. This year’s event also featured a keynote address from Keely Shaw, a Para Olympic hopeful on track to compete in the 2021 Tokyo Paralympic Games. The winners receive cash awards and kudos. This year’s $3,000 First Place winner sponsored by RBC Future Launch is Business Administration student Kate Keaney of Sudbury. She pitched Rosie Construction and Renovations, a company that supports and hires women in trades.
