The Biz Foundry partners with Eagle Works at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, TN to provide budding entrepreneurs with the mentorship and guidance they need to turn their ideas into reality. Each year the program hosts a Shark Tank-style competition where students create innovative ideas and pitch to a panel of judges for a chance to win a cash prize to fund their business.
2023 Shark Tank Style Competition
The Sharks are coming to Tennessee Tech for the 10th Annual Eagle Works competition!
The Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) program, a functioning unit of the Office of Research and Economic Development, exists to empower Tennessee Tech students, faculty, and staff and the surrounding community to create a brighter future for themselves and the world. We do this by facilitating a variety of events and activities that get students and faculty thinking in creative ways to solve problems and start businesses.
