The breakout sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 25, and Thursday, Jan. 27, in Barry Hall conference rooms. Topics range from social media to angel investors.

“Innovation Week is a great opportunity for students to learn more about entrepreneurship,” said Brenda Wyland, associate director for the NDSU Research & Technology Park. “The breakout sessions are one of the platforms used to educate students on a variety of topics related to new venture start-ups.”
