Center consults with universities and colleges across the country.

the entrepreneur's venture.

National
Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (NCEC)
The National Consortium of Entrepreneurship
Centers has been established for the purpose of continued collaboration
among entrepreneurship centers, as well as the newer emerging
centers, can work together to share information, develop special
projects, and assist each other in advancing and improving their
centers' impact. The consortium seeks to become a focal point
for the Entrepreneurship Centers across the United States to continue
the advancement of entrepreneurial excellence. The Midwest Entrepreneurial
Education Center at the College of Business, Ball State University

Enterprise Creation
Competition
The Enterprise Creation Competition
is the preeminent undergraduate business plan competition in the
USA. It gives undergraduate students the opportunity to develop
business ventures that demonstrate the ability to be successfully
launched. New ventures for the purpose of this competition may
be start-up companies, buyouts, expansions of existing companies,
or site-specific franchises. Student teams are encouraged to create
and present a plan that clearly illustrates creativity and potential
for success. Newly created enterprises rely as much on the presentations
of the concept as they do on the detailed business plan and financial
projections. All entries are evaluated, based on the written plan,
by a preliminary judging panel provided by Ernst & Young,
LLP.
