Congratulations to RisosEnterprises the Velocity 100K Challenge overall winners of 2021! Overall Winner: RisosEnterprisesOverall Runner-up: PrintGigNew Ventures: Delta WaterwaysSocial: FistbumpAcademic: SuperCarbon We highly commend the other winners of the evening. Each of the teams who participated in the competition worked very hard and achieved much throughout the venture.

We had three student projects presented to the Committee QuakeTEC - a nanosatellite earthquake precursor detection system, able to detect earthquakes up to 5 days prior. This has the potential to save lives and mitigate large social costs. Suture Future - a device aimed to improve the speed of suturing, through angling and rotating the needle in a blend of manual and automatic processes. The time saved in time-critical surgeries translates to significant surgical outcomes for the patient and overall healthcare cost effectiveness
