CINCINNATI – January 31, 2012 – Each year, the University of Cincinnati and Cincom Systems co-host the Spirit of Enterprise MBA business plan competition in late February. With cash prizes and an automatic bid into the Venture Labs Investment Competition – the “Super Bowl of investment competitions – Spirit of Enterprise is a thriving incubator for fledgling business plans.

With business ideas ranging from medical devices, to baby clothes rental websites, to daily deal sites, to gluten-free baked goods the teams who visit Cincom’s world headquarters come from all over the United States and even a few neighbors to the North come down from Canada.

Cincom has been involved in the event since it’s inception due to a long-standing history with the University – Cincom CEO Thomas Nies is a double graduate of UC, holding both an undergraduate and a graduate degree – and a dedication to the entrepreneurial spirit fostered by competitions such as Spirit of Enterprise.

Soapbox Cincinnati, a local, online publication published every Tuesday, wrote about the Spirit of Enterprise in their most recent publication.
