Business Plan Competition
Imagine working on a $25 Million wind mill project! Imagine a restaurant with dining choices - Spanish, French, German, and Italian! Imagine giving your business idea pitch in the back of a limousine going around the race track of the Indianapolis 500 Motor Speedway. These are only a few of the exciting aspects of our annual business plan competition!
