The Corporate Startup Lab is proud to launch its Second Annual Case Competition!  This year, we are partnering with PNC Bank for an Equity in Financial Services theme.  A common concern in modern industries is an imperfect realization of equity across all services and platforms.  The prompt of this Competition, you will be investigating the intersection of affordable housing and climate resilience/energy solutions for low to moderate income families.  You will attempt to provide a solution through transformative innovation ideas, products, or services.  

$20,000 in total prizes will be awarded to the top three teams to respond to PNC's prompt involving a creative and entrepreneurial approach solving a problem in financial equity.  Any Graduate or Ph.D. Student at all U.S. universities and colleges are eligible and invited to apply. Teams are limited to 3-4 students per team.  Eight teams will be selected as finalists to visit Pittsburgh on November 1-2 and present in front of a panel of distinguished judges and an audience of Corporate Executives and Entrepreneurs. This November 1st, some of the brightest graduate students from all over the country will be chosen to come to Pittsburgh and pitch their solutions.
