The Wisconsin Technology Council’s 18th annual Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest is accepting entries now until 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, organizers announced today.

The contest looks to encourage entrepreneurs in the startup stage of tech-enabled businesses in Wisconsin. Companies can submit ideas in the following categories: Advanced Manufacturing, Business Services, Information Technology and Life Sciences.

Last year, Plumb Pharmaceuticals, a company that developed a drug delivery technology platform for extended-release medications used in the treatment of opioid addiction, won the contest.

The top 12 companies will present their business plan during the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference in June, and the finalists will share more than $125,000 in cash and service prizes.

All entries must be submitted online.
