How it Works
The Accelerate Sheboygan County Business Challenge is a program designed to assist entrepreneurs and innovators to further their ideas. Each idea submitted is evaluated by professionals and receives guidance free from the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation or the Small Business Development Center at UW-Green Bay.
5 Ideas will win a $1,000 grant in advance to go towards business services and drive the idea forward. The grand prize award of $10,000 will be announced in December after the business ideas are presented.
