iDEA PLUS (Pivoting and Leveraging Unique Solutions) is a reverse pitching event that gathers aspiring startup founders to solve industry related challenges posed by partner organizations. This process flips the traditional pitching dynamic, where startups usually pitch their solutions to the industry for partnership or funding. Instead, iDEA PLUS invites established companies to share their challenges and needs with startups and entrepreneurs, allowing them to align their initiatives with real-world industry demands.
