The
Great Lakes Entrepreneur Quest (
GLEQ) will soon announce the winner of its SmartZone Award, a contest among Michigan entrepreneurs challenged to write the best business plan.
According to excerpts from the article:
This year’s business-plan writing contest features
participants from all parts of the state, including six from the Upper
Peninsula, nine from the upper Lower Peninsula, 41 from the west side
of the state, 67 from mid-Michigan, and the balance from sections of
Southeast Michigan.
The industries represented are across the board,
with the highest concentrations in IT (including software, wireless
applications, e-commerce, electronic medical records, video and new
media), Life Sciences, Alternative Energy, Advanced Manufacturing and
Materials, and Food and Agriculture.
GLEQ has risen to the challenge thanks to its statewide network of
support. Through collaborative relationships with the SmartZones,
universities, industry associations, entrepreneurial support
organizations, and economic development agencies, GLEQ has a roster of
250 volunteers that support the competition as Ambassadors, Coaches and
Judges.
