What’s the recipe for entrepreneurial success in Minnesota? Participating in the Minnesota Cup – a statewide contest designed to seek out, support, celebrate and promote Minnesota’s newest and most innovative business ideas. 2009 competition finalists have taken their Minnesota Cup experiences and gone on to secure more than $8 million in capital and broker numerous business partnerships, collaborations and distribution agreements.
Contest organizers – partnering with the University of Minnesota, Wells Fargo, the State of Minnesota and new competition host, the Arrowhead Growth Alliance – have opened the entry period for this year’s sixth annual Minnesota Cup.
Now through May 21, Minnesotans can submit their breakthrough business ideas online at www.minnesotacup.org and secure their chance at claiming a piece of the $130,000 in available prize money across six award divisions: High Tech, BioSciences, Clean Tech & Renewable Energy, Social Entrepreneurship, General and Student. Winners also receive free professional services from select Minnesota Cup sponsors.
