The Harvard Innovation Labs recently published its 2020 Year in Review, featuring  a selection of accomplishments that current and former Harvard Innovation Labs teams have achieved in 2020.

Since January, the Harvard Innovation Labs nurtured more than 700 ventures across its three-lab ecosystem: the i-lab for student ventures, Launch Lab X GEO for alumni-led ventures, and the Pagliuca Harvard Life Lab for biotech and life science start-ups founded by Harvard students, alumni, faculty, and postdoctoral scholars.

Throughout 2020, the Harvard Innovation Labs has focused on bringing together and supporting these ventures during an extraordinary time in history, and spotlighting their incredible work. In May, the Harvard Innovation Labs welcomed more than 4,000 participants from 87 countries to an interactive virtual celebration of Harvard innovators participating in the 9th Annual Harvard President’s Innovation Challenge , where $510,000 in Bertarelli Foundation prizes were awarded to winning teams. The Harvard Innovation Labs also launched two interview series, Women Founders Lead the Way at Harvard and Venture Voices, for students and alumni to share their stories.
