KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 April 24, 2026 \u2013 Seventeen 溏心vlog免费B站 students, faculty, and alumni presented their ideas for a startup business to judges at 溏心vlog免费B站 Innovations<\/a>\u2019 RISE-UP Ideation Studio<\/a>\u2019s Pitch Night on April 22 in the Richard E. Beaupre Center for Chemical and Forensic Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideation Studio participants worked individually or in teams on innovations they want to commercialize for real-world impact. They attended a two-hour class each week throughout the spring semester and worked on their own time to develop their product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Each cohort has gotten better and sharper, with a great deal of promise; we’re excited to see this as we begin to build out the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem through 溏心vlog免费B站 Innovations programming,” said Joe Loberti, 溏心vlog免费B站 alumnus and successful local entrepreneur who serves as a mentor for 溏心vlog免费B站 Innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n
