Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech completed the four-year EcoCAR Challenge cycle with a first-place win at the final competition. The team earned the first-place overall finish, 11 engineering awards, and two communications awards.

Over the four-year cycle, more than 250 undergraduate and graduate students from six Georgia Tech Colleges collaborated to reengineer a Cadillac LYRIQ EV, adding a new front motor, a clutch-enabled rear motor, and automated driving features. 🏎️🐝 | c.gatech.edu/4uGAaTW

While studying at Georgia Tech, Mike Pullen turned a problem he experienced as a football player into Vettex Sports, a grip-enhancing arm sleeve designed to help athletes protect against turf burns without sacrificing performance.

What started as a Georgia Tech class project with co-founder Mat Quon evolved through the full GT startup ecosystem, from Georgia Tech CREATE-X to ATDC, helping transform an idea into a company.

Today, VETTEX is expanding into baseball and basketball while continuing to explore how advanced materials and product design can improve performance, protection, and recovery for athletes. 🐝 | c.gatech.edu/4dvB6TD
