This year’s Northwest Venture Championship® marks our 8th annual business plan competition. In 2002, we started as a small, nine team regional competition with undergraduate students competing against graduate students. Over the years, we have been fortunate to grow into an international business plan competition that welcomes students and faculty from across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Australia.
The competition provides students a professional forum for practicing the skills critical to their future successes, helping them transform their dreams into realities. Many students competing in the event launch their own businesses, thereby creating economic value, expanding employment opportunities and enhancing the tax base.
