The Harvard Innovation Labs believes that a diverse community of innovators — one that invites ideas from every angle — creates a robust ecosystem that propels everyone forward. That’s why we hope you’ll join us for the 2023 President’s Innovation Challenge Awards Ceremony on May 3 — our annual celebration of innovation, community, and entrepreneurship at Harvard.

We’ll hear live pitches from 25 finalist teams and reveal which of the freshest and most forward-thinking ventures will receive a share of $515,000 in funding, courtesy of the Bertarelli Foundation. Finalists have been selected from a diverse group of 158 PIC semi-finalist teams with representation from each of Harvard’s 13 schools and over 30 countries around the world.

Visit the PIC microsite to learn more about this year's finalists. Get excited for this year's event by taking a look back at last year's highlights.
