Join the Skandalaris Center for Interdisciplinary Innovation and Entrepreneurship as we celebrate the culmination of our 2026 summer programming at the Skandalaris Summer Expo.

Throughout the summer, Launchpad founders have worked to advance their ventures while students in the Skandalaris Internship Program (SkIP) have gained hands-on experience supporting startups across the St. Louis innovation ecosystem. The Summer Expo provides an opportunity to showcase the progress, insights and accomplishments that emerged from these experiences.

Attendees will have the chance to meet founders, connect with student interns, explore innovative ventures and learn more about the projects, challenges and milestones that shaped the summer. Whether you’re a member of the WashU community, a mentor, investor, entrepreneur or supporter of innovation, the Expo offers a firsthand look at the next generation of founders and startup talent.

Come celebrate a summer of entrepreneurship, collaboration and innovation at WashU.
