BCIC New Ventures Competition

http://www.newventuresbc.com/about-nvbc/

The BCIC-New Ventures competition was founded in 2000 under the direction of Wal van Lierop as a means of recognizing and encouraging entrepreneurship in B.C.’s technology sector. The first board included representation from both public and private organizations, and many of the founding organizations and key individuals from the original group have provided continuous support to the competition.

However, it’s not only the winners of the competition who go on to success. Many finalists and round-three competitors use the skills they have learned in the competition to commercialize their business ideas.
