Concept2Venture Competition Highlights UIC Innovations

Fifteen business plans from colleges across the UIC campus competed in UIC’s sixth annual Concept2Venture competition on December 14, featuring both social, medical and technological innovations. A panel of judges that included venture capitalists, angel investors, intellectual property attorneys, successful entrepreneurs and prior C2V winners selected the winning teams. “C2V has become a rallying point for getting our students energized about entrepreneurship,” said Rod Shrader, Denton Thorne chair in entrepreneurship and faculty director of the Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies at UIC.
