SharkNinja, in partnership with MassChallenge, is launching the SharkNinja Innovation Challenge to support STEM innovators and early-career entrepreneurs. The nationwide competition invites university students and young individuals (18-24) to submit applications by October 24th in categories like consumer problem-solving, sustainability, and universal design. Finalists will receive mentorship, resources for prototyping, and IP counsel. Winners will get cash prizes and mentorship to accelerate growth, with a live pitch finale in early 2026. This initiative falls under SharkNinja’s “Innovation for Impact” program.
