2026 Mel Woodward Cup: Celebrating A Decade of Impact
Be inspired by the top five innovative student-led startups at Memorial University as they present their ideas and hope to claim one of the two top prizes of $25,000 and $15,000! Teams will also be competing for one of our two additional awards:
The Fry Family Foundation Entrepreneurship Award for an Early-Stage Idea; and,
The Fry Family Foundation Entrepreneurship Award for Women or Non-binary Leadership.
The finals will be a high-energy and fun-filled event where innovation and hard work are rewarded. We invite you to watch the team pitches and Q&A, engage with our student entrepreneurs, meet others in the audience, and enjoy the tenth annual Mel Woodward Cup!
