GE 393 RLP - Business Plan Workshop for Technology Entrepreneurs

 

GE 393 RLP is a hands-on course devoted to the creation of winning business plans for technology-based companies. The preparation of a business plan is a complex act, requiring creative, communication, and analytical skills. In addition, because business plans are often prepared by teams, business-plan preparation can often be a challenging exercise in teamwork and human relations. This course helps you develop the creative, communication, analytical, and team skills necessary to preparing fundable business plans.

Business Plan Workshop for Technology Entrepreneurs is an activity of the Technology Entrepreneur Center (TEC) in the Deparment of General Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
