Entries are reviewed by the Idea to Product Program staff and the Technology Entrepreneurship Society officers. The top technology commercialization plans are chosen to proceed to the semifinals.
Entries should be unique and innovative, be feasible to implement, and address an identified market need, and they must have an underlying technology component. Teams are encouraged to focus on the benefits of their technology and its associated market potential, rather than the technical features.
