The academy fosters interaction with CEOs in the following industry sectors: Technology, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Sports/Entertainment, Transportation/Aviation, Retail/Consumer Goods, Non-profit and Government, Energy, Business/Financial Services and Real Estate Services
In 2025, our signature event, the YTexas Summit, will invite student-led startup founders to interact with executives, learn about career pathways, and compete in the state’s first inter-collegiate pitch competition.
The event is where students with solutions to Texas’ biggest challenges take center stage at the Hall of Champions at Kyle Field in College Station. Student innovators from Texas Universities will compete in front of industry leaders, executives, and investors.
All finalists will enter the 2026 YTexas Leadership Academy to build their network and bring their idea to life!
