Kauffman Lab’s Women in Science and Engineering Business Idea Competition

Kauffman lab is looking for ideas from femal scientists or engineers.

This is not a business plan competition. This is about letting breakthrough ideas be heard, and identifying the people who will make them a reality. No idea is too early stage and no dream is too big.

The winning woman will receive an all-expense-paid trip to TED 2011 in Long Beach, California, as a guest of the Kauffman Labs. The annual TED conference brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives. Kauffman Labs provides a new approach to developing the next generation of high-growth firms.
