Delaware’s small business community will gather in Dover later this month as seventeen entrepreneurs compete for state grant funding through the EDGE 2.0 program.
The Delaware Division of Small Business has revealed the competitors who will participate in the grant pitch competition scheduled for April 30th and May 1st at Delaware Technical Community College in Dover. Both days will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Among the selected participants, nine will compete in the Entrepreneur category while eight others will present in the STEM division. These finalists emerged from a pool of 123 applicants who sought funding in this latest round.
Community members interested in observing the presentations can attend without charge, though advance registration is necessary to guarantee seating. Those wishing to attend can register at https://bit.ly/4sAcqQa.
This competition marks the thirteenth iteration of the EDGE program since state officials first launched the initiative to support Delaware’s emerging businesses.
