EEC’s ideaLabs is an idea competition where students from across the region compete for
recognition as the regional champion. ideaLabs encourages all students, from all disciplines
to think about new venture ideas, applying the feasibility study methodology and
answering the three key questions: Is there a market? Do the financials make sense?
What resources are necessary? Each EEC member school held their own campus competition
to determine a student or team of students to represent them at ideaLabs. The
EEC invited several non-EEC institutions to provide entrants in an open category.
