Business competitions are the lifeblood of entrepreneurship, and the Great Lakes Entrepreneur’s Quest is one of the best in the state. So it’s pretty cool that a U.P. entrepreneur won one of the state awards in the competition.
Excerpt: The Great Lakes Entrepreneur’s Quest presented awards to the mid-year winners in its 12th year of the statewide business plan competition Tuesday night at the ACE’12 entrepreneurship event in Ann Arbor.
