EPIC Collectives

EPIC Collectives are the driving force behind every Employer Provided Innovation Challenge in Michigan. A Collective is any group—a school, college, employer, industry group, association, nonprofit, or regional coalition—that comes together to host, sponsor, or facilitate one or more EPIC Challenges.

Each Collective provides students with the opportunity to work on real-world problems, connect with employers, and present their ideas through a hands-on, challenge-based experience.
