West Chester University is welcoming students and others with big business ideas to present their dreams during the third annual WCU Business Idea Competition.

The event is co-hosted by the Dr. Edwin Cottrell Entrepreneurial Leadership Center and the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic.  The deadline to present innovative ideas for new products, services or technology is March 4.

Ideas will be reviewed by “business angels” and experts, and the top 3 most promising ideas will be selected as semi-finalists and presented during the 2015 Business Idea Pitch on April 22.

Ideas submitted will remain the property of the submitter and held in strict confidence, but the top ideas selected for presentation will be presented to the public.

Ideas must not have already been commercialized.
