About our Partnership: “Venture Valley Collegiate Cup exceeded all expectations. More than 150 students turned out for the event, and many of them played Venture Valley in our E-Sports Lab or on their phones for hours. Students relished the novelty of learning about launching a startup business in video game format. Similarly, the Stillman School of Business faculty embraced Venture Valley as an innovative experiential educational tool and brought their classes to the event. This Venture Valley Collegiate Cup was one of our best events ever!”
– Susan Scherreik, Founding Director, the Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Seton Hall University

“In Panama, solid waste management has become a critical issue with severe environmental and social repercussions. Our solution is a system that integrates low-cost smart containers with a mobile application to incentivize and reward citizens for recycling.”
