Savannah Harbor Innovation Partnership (SHIP), in collaboration with the Y Center and Georgia Southern University’s Business Innovation Group (BIG) hosts Corporate Innovation Lab, a two-day immersive event happening May 21–22, 2025, in Savannah, Georgia.

This fast-paced innovation sprint brings together students, early-career professionals, and entrepreneurs to work alongside corporate leaders on real-world business challenges—generating fresh, tech-enabled solutions using human-centered design, agile methods, and rapid prototyping.

Throughout the two day event, corporate participants are invited to present a real-world challenge, mentor a team of emerging innovators, gain early access to student talent and help shape the future of innovation in the Southeast.

Media partners and business publications are encouraged to cover this first-of-its-kind initiative in Savannah, which aligns with SHIP’s mission to position the region as a national leader in innovation and cross-sector collaboration.
