The Blue Ridge Market is an event to identify, nurture, and help launch the revolutionary businesses that sit in our dorm rooms at Clemson University! It allows student entrepreneurs to engage in personal selling, target marketing, branding and positioning while networking with other student entrepreneurs. This high-energy market provides a great opportunity for you to meet student entrepreneurs, learn about their businesses, try their products and connect with the hundreds of students attending. Join us each semester for the Blue Ridge Market and support Clemson entrepreneurial students. All shoppers are invited, whether you are a community member, faculty, staff, parent, or student!

“The Blue Ridge Market is an incredible opportunity for students and alumni to market their businesses to the local community on campus. I have attended the past four markets as a student and now as an alum, and I am so grateful to the Brook T. Smith Launchpad for providing this opportunity! Having these markets to engage with customers and other entrepreneurs on campus has allowed me to grow my photography business and network with so many wonderful people!”
