Business Plans Due for InnoVenture Jan. 9
GREENVILLE, SC (PRWEB) December 16, 2005 -- Investors, entrepreneurs, academics and business leaders will converge on Greenville March 28-29, 2006 for InnoVenture 2006, a premiere conference highlighting and advancing exciting developments in the Southeastern Innovation Corridor. This exciting conference offers many different components; among the most significant are the business plan presentations in Venture Hall.
Companies may submit their qualifications between now and January 9, 2006; companies will be selected in February 2006 and coached in advance of their presentations in late March.
To apply, visit the InnoVenture website, www.InnoVentureSE.com, and select the “Submit a Business Plan” choice located on the home page.
“The business plan presentations are some of the most engaging and dramatic aspects of InnoVenture. Each year the selection team hears from numerous companies in the Southeast who hold promise,” says John Warner, InnoVenture chairman. “Choosing the presenters is never easy, but those selected make the event so strong. We look forward to this year’s group.”
A 2005 InnoVenture presenter, Eric L. Dobson, Ph.D., President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of Navigational Sciences (www.navsci.com) had this to say about his experience last year, “We were exposed to investors and received calls months later from investors. One investor we met at InnoVenture closed with us and we’ve raised other capital as well.”

During the conference, John Sibley Butler, Todd Wright and Walter Alessandrini will deliver keynote addresses.
