"techTITANS gave me a chance to really look at the idea. The competition challenged me to explain why the idea had merit, and to really look at what would be involved in trying to develop, protect and market an idea." - Joel Gillespie, Masters Student, Computer Science, Utah State University
"Without techTITANS, I probably wouldn’t have been motivated to do something. [The competition] was a great catalyst for filing a U.S. patent and creating my own business, TheraPhotonics, because it provided a structured way of developing the technology, doing patent research, and formulating the basics for a business plan and technology development path." - Zivile Dobson, BioMedical Engineering student, University of Utah
