Mays Business Online

In a world full of technological breakthroughs and innovative ideas, Texas A&M continues to make its mark. Though every invention shows promise, marketing new technology to the average person can be a difficult task, and that’s where the Mays MBA Program steps in. On February 15, 77 first-year MBA students participated in the Tech Transfer Challenge, developing real-world applications for A&M’s newest innovations.

You’re traveling across country by train, when suddenly there’s a horrific screech. The train lurches and jerks violently before crashing into something and flipping off the tracks. The lights go out and you can hear the moans and cries of the wounded passengers around you. You try to help, but you hit your head during the accident and are too dizzy to stand.

“Don’t worry, I’m here to help,” you hear a nearby voice say. And who is your rescuer? A paramedic? A search and rescue worker? No, it’s an MBA, trained at Texas A&M’s Mays Business School.
