Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) is sponsoring the 25th
annual Collegiate Inventors Conference Expo and Awards, happening
today at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
headquarters outside of Washington, D.C.
“Innovation is the fuel of the 21st century—and it’s Arrow’s
future,” said Joe Verrengia, director of Arrow’s Corporate Social
Responsibility program. “Arrow is excited to support this great
competition and all of the inspiring innovators, engineers,
designers and makers presenting their prototypes today.”
Graduate and undergraduate finalists in the competition will
present their research and prototypes to some of the most
influential inventors and innovation experts in the nation,
including National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees and
representatives from the USPTO and AbbVie Foundation. A panel of
expert judges will select three top winners in the graduate and
undergraduate divisions, with winners sharing a total of $100,000
in cash and prizes.
The Collegiate Inventors Competition was founded in 1990 to
recognize and reward top collegiate inventors from all fields of
study. Operated by the nonprofit Invent Now and the National
Inventors Hall of Fame, the competition showcases emerging student
ideas and technologies that will shape our society in the near
future.
The competition specifically recognizes and rewards the
innovations, discoveries and research by college university
students and their advisors for projects leading to inventions that
may have the potential of receiving patent protection. Since its
inception, the competition has awarded more than $1
million to winning students for their innovative work and
scientific achievement through the help of its sponsors. Arrow is
the Entrepreneur Sponsor of the 2015 Collegiate Inventors
Competition. Presenting sponsors include the USPTO and AbbVie
