HIP is designed to be accessible to a broad range of participants.
Applicants may include students, recent graduates, entrepreneurs, professionals, job seekers, community leaders, innovators, and individuals exploring new opportunities.
The program values curiosity, commitment, and willingness to engage more than formal credentials or prior experience.
Because the pilot cohort has limited capacity, priority consideration may be given to participants affiliated with participating universities, colleges, community organizations, industry partners, government agencies, or other strategic ecosystem partners.
