By NYU InnoVention Society • Issue #7 • View online

Dear InnoVention Community,

Welcome back~ We hope everyone had an amazing holiday season and powered through the first two months of 2021 like a champ!

After weeks of heated deliberation, Team InnoVention is thrilled to present the 2021 NYC cohort for Global InnoVention Competition. Yes! We launched this global initiative in the Summer of 2020 to connect talented NYU student entrepreneurs from New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai. Here is the link in case you missed it.

Despite being amidst a global pandemic and the challenges faced in remote learning, 38 ventures representing 8 NYU schools submitted their applications - among which 14 teams have been selected. These 14 teams cover a wide range of topics ranging from MedTech hardware to advocacy and sustainable development. Read More about our cohort and what they will be up to for the next 4 months in the Tandon article below.

Although the 2021 InnoVention Competition is fully remote this year, the event is just as hotly contested as ever, and excitement levels are just as high — especially with more than a dozen teams from New York City alone and others signing on from Abu Dhabi (which fielded teams for the first time last year) and Shanghai (participating for the very first time in 2021).

Throughout the spring semester, InnoVention 2021 cohort will go through 8 curated workshops on Startup essential and 5 AMA talks with our past cohorts. The 2021 cohort will also go through 2 rounds of judging, after which the top two finalists will represent InnoVention NYC in the Global InnoVention Competition on April 28th, 2021. We are excited to see what our talented cohort will achieve in 10 weeks, and will be sharing their journey every step of the way!

Until next time,

Team InnoVention🚀
