Producing and selling caffeinated mints. Generating cost-effective, off-grid solar power in Sub-Saharan Africa. A mobile app-enabled styling service. Unmanned aerial drones to monitor gas leaks in pipelines.
Those are just a few of the dozens of business ideas that will be presented at the 2015 G. Steven Burrill Business Plan Competition to be held Friday at the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. With 43 teams competing this year, the event gives UW-Madison students the chance to develop and present business plans for new and emerging ventures.
