UNM Tech Navigator Challenge
Transform existing technologies into products/services:
Create a commercialization plan for an existing technology from one of our partners at the Air Force Research Lab and Sandia National Labs.
A background in business is not necessary, your team will be given a mentor for guidance. Teams will create a pitch and pitch deck for your commercialization plan and present it to our panel of judges.
Winners will be announced at a luncheon after the competition!
Come with a team (at least two students)
or we will assign you one at the kickoff event.
1st Place: $10,000
2nd Place: $5,000
3rd Place: $3,000
This competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students
of any New Mexico Higher Education Institution.
3 academic credit hours available for participating! Ask us how!
