Top Innovator, Entrepreneurs Honored at NC State Celebration of Innovation & Entrepreneurship

On a campus crowded with world-leading faculty spinning off startup companies and writing patent applications at a record-breaking pace, the annual awards for innovator of the year and entrepreneur of the year may be the toughest competition outside of Stockholm.

Chancellor Randy Woodson presented this year’s awards, sponsored by the Office of Technology Commercialization and New Ventures, to three of NC State’s most prolific and successful researchers in an informal event at The Point on Monday.
