Do you think your research has commercial potential but you're not sure what to do next?
Entrepreneurs with ideas at all stages of development are invited to participate in this high profile national competition by submitting a one-page outline of a business idea by 14 September 2007.

Applicants accepted for the competition will receive training through a two day commercialisation workshop.

Prizes of up to £25,000 will be awarded to the business plans judged to have the best potential to help turn business ideas into reality.
