Alabama’s entrepreneurs have a growing list of opportunities to showcase their innovative ideas. The Economic Development Partnership of Alabama is expanding its successful startup competition, and the newest site is Auburn.

EDPA is partnering with the city of Auburn, Auburn University’s Raymond J. Harbert College of Business and the Auburn Research and Technology Foundation to bring a regional Alabama Launchpad Startup Competition to the greater Auburn area.

Like the statewide program, which has pumped millions of dollars into companies across Alabama, the regional competition will offer local entrepreneurs the chance to compete for funding and receive valuable mentoring. “We are fortunate to partner with Alabama Launchpad,” Auburn Mayor Bill Ham Jr. said. “Alabama Launchpad has become the go-to resource for entrepreneurship in the state. And with the expertise at Auburn University, the program will contribute significantly to entrepreneurship development in the Auburn region.”
