The University of Michigan has some big
expectations for the Accelerate Michigan Student Idea Competition, an
offshoot of the inaugural Accelerate Michigan Innovation
Competition."It's a great opportunity for our students and
the state of Michigan," says Doug Neal, managing director of the Center for
Entrepreneurship in U-M's College of Engineering. "I'd love to see
1,000 students participate in Accelerate Michigan."That would
put it on par with U-M's 1,000 Pitches competition, which attracted 2,065
participants in 2009; more are expected this year. Neal says the two
competitions are quite similar because they both require students to
primarily pitch business ideas.The Accelerate Michigan Student
Idea Competition offers three prizes totaling $50,000. Any college
student attending school in the state is eligible. Participants must
submit a one-page business plan, a three-minute video pitch, and
formulate a 15-minute live pitch. The deadline for applications
is October 22. For information, click here.The Accelerate
Michigan Innovation Competition is offering $1 million in prizes to
start-ups in Michigan or planning to move to Michigan. The idea is to
showcase the state's entrepreneurial ecosystem to a large audience of
investors in town for the Big Chill hockey game at Michigan Stadium on
Dec. 11. Source: Doug Neal, managing director of the Center
