VT KnowledgeWorks Entrepreneurship Challenge

VT KnowledgeWorks presents the Fifth Annual Entrepreneurship Challenge. Please join us for two competitions as entrepreneurs and Virginia Tech students compete for prizes.

First, Virginia Tech faculty, staff, students, and/or alumni will compete in the Tech Transfer Challenge. Hoping to establish a new venture in Blacksburg using their Virginia Tech owned technology, the teams will compete to win $100,000 worth of mentorship and business support services.

Second, Virginia Tech student teams will compete in the Student Business Concept Competition for $10,000 in scholarships, start-up services, and the opportunity to compete on a world stage next August for the $25,000 VT KnowledgeWorks Global Challenge Award.
