Challenging economic times have often given birth to great business ideas and successful companies. Fifty percent of the Fortune 500 companies and Inc 500 companies started their businesses in depressed economies. Companies such as Microsoft, Apple, FedEx and Southwest Airlines opened their doors during the stock market crash of the 1980's.
So what is your BIG Idea?
The Business Innovation and Growth Center (The BIG Center) at Kentucky Highlands is sponsoring a competition to find the best business ideas in Kentucky. If you have an idea for a new business, or an idea for expanding your existing business, we want to hear about it. The BIG Idea Competition will award $30,000 in cash prizes and free space in the BIG Center which is scheduled to open in Fall 2010 in London.
