NCET Governor’s Cup Business Plan Competition Receives Record Number of Submissions
48 student teams will vie for best business plan and other awards
Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (NCET) has announced that a record number of business plans have been submitted for the 2008 Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup Business Plan Competition. The Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup is the only statewide collegiate business plan competition where students from Nevada’s universities and colleges team up and compete for nearly $110,000 in cash awards.
This year a record 48 business plans were submitted for the competition and among the participating students, a much broader range of academic disciplines have become involved in the contest. In addition to the students in business and engineering disciplines who have regularly participated, represented majors this year include journalism, biology, biochemistry, history, hotel management and fine arts.
“We are very pleased with the phenomenal growth we’ve had since the competition’s inception, and are excited to have more of Nevada’s young talent competing than ever before,” said Dave Archer, NCET CEO. “This year’s competition is sure to be great for the students’ and the community’s entrepreneurial growth.”
