Viking Industries Inspires Future Entrepreneurs at SHS!
President and CEO of Viking Industries, Richard Croce, visited the class to share insights on product prototyping, packaging, and design—key components in turning ideas into reality. Viking Industries specializes in corrugated cardboard solutions, and students had the opportunity to explore real-world applications of packaging and product construction.
As part of their Capstone Project, students will analyze business opportunities, develop professional business plans, design and create product prototypes, and pitch their concepts to a panel of experts.
The top teams will even get the chance to present at SUNY New Paltz in front of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders.
A huge thank you to Viking Industries for providing valuable industry expertise and materials for our students' prototypes. Stay tuned for updates on their innovative business ideas.
