Open Innovation Challenges

What is an OpenCase?

OpenCases are up-to-date open innovation challenges based on our growing diverse network of industry partners. These cases are a great way to prepare students for Capstone Projects, LiveCases, and Internships.

Each of these plug-and-play “Case Studies” is based on a real organization with a real challenge and can be used as engaging classroom content!

Examples of OpenCases available on CapSource
