The University of Dayton School of Business Administration is pleased to announce the third annual UD Business Plan Competition (UDBPC) for the 2008-2009 academic year. First prize will be $15,000 and over $35,000 in total prize monies will be awarded. The UDBPC involves student teams investigating the feasibility of a new venture and constructing a plan for launching the venture using common formats and guidelines. Because writing a comprehensive business plan can seem daunting, the UDBPC is simple to enter and offers applicants built-in support throughout the entire process of developing a winning business plan. The UDBPC goal is to help infuse entrepreneurship across campus and, indeed, the entire region. Outstanding business plans often attract funding from investors, something that could eventually spur job creation and economic growth.
Salud del Sol, the 2008 UDBPC winner, involved business and engineering students who created a business plan to develop and market solar cookers and solar-powered sterilizers and set up companies in Nicaraguan villages to produce the equipment.
