SFU Business’ Pink Rangers Win RBC Mini Innovation Challenge
Oct 27, 2009
RBC announced the winner of its RBC Mini Innovation Challenge. For the 2009 competition, the challenge for student proposals was about organizations and social innovation: “Organizations that support Social Innovation and create social good will do better if they can work together but currently mechanisms do not exist that support easy and effective group-to-group collaboration. Suggest innovative ways to allow these organizations to connect and collaborate.”
A total of 51 teams registered, with SFU representing 10 of the 51. BUS338 alone had 7 student teams submit proposals. 20 proposals were short-listed with 8 of the 20 coming from SFU and the winning proposal coming from the “Pink Rangers” team from SFU. Congratulations to the team (Anho Sham, James Avendano, Josephine Jane Gunawan, Luke Cheung and Shirley Yeung) for their winning project on “social innovation clusters”. The winning team receives a $1,000 donation from RBC and the “Pink Rangers” have chosen Kla-How-Eya as the recipient.
