Business Horizons 2024

Business Horizons 2024 was held July 14-18 at Drake University and hosted 55+ students from across the state of Iowa. Five student teams collaborated on unique business ventures that provided real-world services for high school students today - from in-school emergency training and investment education to sleep and health monitoring. The 41st year of Business Horizons was another successful "best week of summer!"

The 40th year of Business Horizons was held July 16-20 at Drake University. Hosted annually each summer, students participate in valuable workshops led by industry professionals, interact and hear from dynamic speakers, and tour local businesses. Students were randomly separated into industry teams under the guidance of business professionals and tasked with identifying a real-world problem to collaboratively combat. Throughout the week, each team worked diligently to refine a product or service as basis for its new business venture. By the end of the program, teams devised investor presentations, infomercials, and competed in a trade show in front of live judging panels.
