Yale Ventures Upcoming Innovation Events

Yale’s innovation community doesn’t have an “off” season.

Yale’s innovation community doesn’t have an “off” season. From hands-on workshops to pitch nights to cross-campus convenings, these moments are where new teams form, ideas get sharper, and unexpected collaborators find each other. Last year, students, faculty, staff, and community partners participated in over 120 innovation-themed events across the university, opening doors to new ventures and innovative ways of tackling significant challenges. We’re already off to a strong start. The 13th annual Yale Healthcare Hackathon wrapped last weekend, bringing together nearly 300 participants representing 17 countries. That energy carries straight into spring, with plenty of on-ramps to meet people and move ideas forward.
