Do you have an idea for an innovative product, service, or novel approach to a social problem? Every month, we host open houses for campus innovators. We also have an on-demand option, or can schedule 1:1 mentor chats for those who are not able to attend the live sessions.

D2P’s team of expert mentors are a free resource to campus innovators. During the open houses, we will share an inside look at our experiential training programs Innovation to Market and Igniter, and go over the wide range of other ways we can help support the development of your idea.

Come join a community of faculty, staff and students that see the Wisconsin Idea as an action plan that guides us to apply our work, research, creativity, ideas, and passion to impact lives locally and globally.

Learn More at Open Houses: Meet D2P mentors and get an overview of training, mentoring and funding programs.
