The Mid-Hudson Regional Business Plan Competition (MHRBPC) represents a unique opportunity for sponsors collaborating with the program to provide visibility and marketing for their organizations.  This semi-final competition is a lead-in for the premier collegiate business plan competition in New York State and one of the largest competitions of this kind in the country. 

In addition to the 6-month targeted marketing strategy deployed by the organizers that actively promotes sponsors of the program, the MHRBPC provides:

• Access to participating students from major college and university communities throughout the 7-county region
• Opportunity to network with investors as well as other business and political leaders who participate in the program
• Exposure to the future business leaders in the community
• Opportunity to support and encourage the entrepreneurial spirit and help advance the technology transfer originating at the region's leading academic institutions
• Opportunity for economic development and job creation through start-up creation

The Mid-Hudson Regional Business Plan Competition depends on the generous support of our sponsors. Please consider becoming a sponsor today!
