  • 1.  Business Plan Competitions

    Posted 09-22-2009 22:14
    Hello All,

    I’m doing some research on business plans competitions worldwide, both traditional and social venture competitions. I’m looking for a comprehensive and current listing both in terms of description, size (# of participants), and monetary size of award. Any information would be appreciated – thanks in advance!
