A hit at our Annual Meeting since 2013, the Six Minute Pitch Startup Challenge is coming to TRB Webinars! TRB hosted the webinar on Thursday, November 3, 2022 from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern. Three presenters pitched their cutting-edge, research-based concept for a transportation product or service-based business to a panel of distinguished transportation industry veteran entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders in just six minutes. It's a national transportation startup competition, but with a research-to-practice focused twist!

This webinar was sponsored by the TRB Young Member’s Council.
