FuzeHub is proud to be a coalition team member providing support and sponsorship to the New York Business Plan Competition (NYSBPC), one of the nation’s top collegiate business competitions. This year’s efforts are part of a longer-term expansion plan led by Upstate Capital to extend the reach of this annual regional and statewide initiative. Now in its 9th year, the NYSBPC will see hundreds of student-led teams representing over 75 New York State colleges and universities vying across the state at regional semifinal competitions for a chance to win one of the 18 overall prizes which will be awarded at the final event on Friday, April 27, 2018. FuzeHub plays a key role in support of NYS manufacturing and makers as the statewide Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) center, and will be sponsoring the competition’s Products Track. “Innovation and entrepreneurship are driving factors for economic growth in New York,” said Elena Garuc, Executive Director of FuzeHub in a press release from Upstate Capital. “We are pleased to do our part to support these young entrepreneurs who are willing to take risks to commercialize technologies that not only drive economic growth, but also lead to advances in manufacturing, healthcare, energy and other improvements in the lives of all people.”
