It has been another fantastic year of innovation and inspiration here at the Morris
L. Hayhurst LaunchLab. The LaunchLab is an applied innovation center that
serves the students of West Virginia University with their creative endeavors.
At the LaunchLab, students can take their innovative ideas for a product or service
and turn them into a reality. Once a client, students have an abundance of resources
available to them. Resources include step-by-step business planning, market research,
patent guidance, logo design, and more! Advice and guidance is geared to help
easily and confidently navigate the start-up of their idea. There is also the
opportunity to win funding through pitch competitions. In addition to funding,
pitch competitions open up a world of networking possibilities to further propel
the innovative enlightenment.
