Welcome to the Innovator's Hub
The Lowe's x NCCU Product Design Challenge
The Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED)
Lowe's is thrilled to partner with North Carolina Central University (NCCU) on an exciting new entrepreneurship challenge designed to empower and elevate the next generation of student innovators and business leaders.
At a time when the speed to market and the retail environment is constantly changing (from brick-and-mortar to online), fostering product innovation is more critical than ever. This challenge provides a much-needed message: solutions are all around us. It empowers tomorrow's problem solvers to think "out of the box" about retailing, product design, and the future global economy.
Participants will have the opportunity to journey through the actual retail product development process, developing their innovative product ideas and concepts. Your work will be presented before a panel of esteemed judges from Lowe's, design experts, and NCCU staff.
