In 2026, select college students will join YTexas in a series of (6) events across the state, interacting with executives, learning about career pathways, and presenting ground-breaking projects and start-up companies they are launching while in school.

The YTexas annual event is where our academy 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 network and exhibit in front of industry leaders, executives, and investors from across the state.

The YTexas Leadership Academy will help students build a network in Texas for life!
