Six student-led companies presented their business concepts and plans to a panel of judges at the 2023 Volusia County Innovation Challenge pitch competition on November 15.



Previously known as the Cairns Foundation Innovation Challenge, this annual event brings entrepreneurs from Volusia County colleges and universities together to compete for $20,000 in cash and prizes for their ventures.

This year’s top prize went to Limitless Aeronautics, founded by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students Alex Gardner and Nyameaama Gambrah.
