North Dakota’s first-ever Innovation Day was a celebration of student entrepreneurs and innovation happening across the state. One portion of the event focused on a nationwide competition called Innovation Challenge. Read about the winners and be inspired by their ideas!

On November 19th, as part of Innovation Day 2020, numerous young entrepreneurs participated in the Nice Ideas Showcase. And they seriously took the term young entrepreneurs to a new level. I’m not talking about entrepreneurs in their 20s. I’m not talking about entrepreneurs in college. This event showcased the entrepreneurial ideas of high school students! That’s right, at the age when most of our biggest concern was getting a romantic partner, these young entrepreneurs were working to make a real change in their communities.

As part of the Nice Leap program, put on by The Nice Center, a handful of NDSU students, faculty, and community members each founded an idea or project and planned to make it a reality over the next few months.

Over the past few months, long overdue conversations about inequality and racism have begun to take place across the globe. In our pursuit of entrepreneurship for all, which can only happen if there is first equitable treatment of all, The Nice Center is inviting dialogue and solution-seeking on the NDSU campus.

2020 has been full of changes, but one thing remains the same - our belief that our region can be the best place for anyone to start a company. Join us for our second annual Women’s Entrepreneurship Week, taking place September 21-25, from wherever you feel comfortable. We have a week packed with virtual and small in-person events to help you build your business, access to experts on issues facing all entrepreneurs and opportunities to connect with others committed to supporting founders.

This week marked the beginning of a new school year. It will likely be one of the most unusual on record. But, as an entrepreneurship center that challenges people to leave their comfort zones, we’re doing our best to walk our talk and demonstrate adaptability to what the world is handing us right now. It’s for this reason that we held our first design thinking workshop of the fall outside on a patio, which kicked off our Nice Leap Workshop series that is open to both campus and community.
