At the Annual International Meeting, ASABE hosts a bioprocess simulated “shark tank” format competition, which encourage students to develop a new product or process that utilizes a unique biological resource. Students will design a product or process, conduct any necessary experimentation, testing, and/or modeling, and write a brief report describing their design and marketing of the product or process; a physical prototype is not required for competition. Student teams will pitch their ideas to a group of industry representatives serving as judges in a simulated “shark tank” format at the ASABE Annual International Meeting (AIM). Teams are required to create a poster of their product/process for display at the AIM.
DEADLINE EXTENSION:
May 15th, 2023 is the deadline to submit Round 1 documents for the competition. No late submissions will be accepted. Teams will be informed of results by May 17th. The top 3 teams will be invited to compete in the final pitch at the Annual International Meeting.
