Launch Wisconsin, formerly the Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest, is accepting entries for its 2026 competition until midnight on June 15, the organization announced recently.

The contest’s mission is still to encourage entrepreneurs in the startup stage of tech-enabled businesses in Wisconsin. The contest links entrepreneurs with a statewide network of community resources, expert judges, mentors and possible sources of capital.

The entries must fall into one of four categories: Advanced Manufacturing, Business Services, Information Technology or Life Sciences.

Last year, Phoenix-Aid, an Oshkosh-based company that developed a patented nano-composite dressing for chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, won the contest.

The business plan contest is free to enter, and all entries must be submitted online here.
