The fourth annual Silicon Valley Business Plan Competition (SVBPC) spans the 2005-2006 academic year and culminates with the final round of judging in May 2006. The purpose of the SVBPC is to encourage innovation on the SJSU campus, reward student participation in new venture creation, and increase recognition of SJSU’s contribution to entrepreneurship in the greater San Jose metropolitan area. It is hoped that entering the competition will help participants to turn their business plans into successful start-ups.
The SVBPC is open to SJSU students, faculty, staff, alumni.

Because student participation
is important to the success of the SVBPC, the
input and support of other student clubs on the SJSU campus is
encouraged and welcomed.
SVBPC - Your Portal to the Entrepreneurial Network:
The SVBPC is meant to be a link between the academic world and the “real” world. Entrepreneurship and innovation are synonymous with Silicon Valley. New products and services that provide new technology, enhance productivity, and create jobs are the hallmark of Silicon Valley. By spurring on entrepreneurship, the SVBPC strengthens the connection between SJSU and the broader metropolitan community and works to increase the economic vitality of the San Jose metropolitan area to the benefit all groups in this diverse region.
