What is the SoCal OASIS™ Initiative?

The SoCal OASIS™ Challenge Pitch Night takes center stage as a pivotal component of the OASIS (Opportunities to Advance Sustainability Social Inclusion and Innovation)™ Initiative, led by the University of California, Riverside. This dynamic initiative is committed to fostering inclusive economic development in Inland Southern California.

Our six finalists emerge as trailblazers in a diverse array of sectors, ranging from agriculture technology and sustainable housing to eco-friendly transportation and electronic recycling. These visionary ventures have been meticulously curated from a pool of fourteen semifinalists, each having undergone a transformative three-week bootcamp orchestrated by EPIC (Entrepreneurial, Proof of Concept, and Innovation Center) and guided by the expert mentors of SBDC (Small Business Development Center).


The SoCal OASIS™ Challenge Pitch Night is made possible by the support from The James Irvine Foundation.
