Capstone Sponsorship

At the Integrated Innovation Institute, capstone sponsorships go beyond academic exercises. They are immersive, high-impact collaborations that can create real value for companies. Our graduate students bring fresh thinking, cross-functional expertise, and a structured innovation process to tackle business challenges head-on. Sponsors often tell us that their projects spark unexpected insights, uncover new opportunities, and accelerate internal momentum.

Our partners range from startups to Fortune 500 leaders, all seeking fresh perspectives and innovative thinking. Our students come from diverse backgrounds in design, business, and engineering. They are handpicked for their ability to collaborate, lead, and create. Together, they form teams that deliver thoughtful, actionable solutions.

If you’re looking to explore new ideas, solve problems, and engage with top talent in a meaningful way, this page offers a deeper look into how the capstone experience works, the impact it delivers, and why corporate sponsors choose to return year after year.
