While originally being a collaborative effort between various Michigan business accelerators, AMIC recently combined with the University of Michigan Centre of Entrepreneurship in order to tackle student led ventures. The competition requires the submission of a business plan and a presentation in front of a set of judges. There are various monetary awards, from $10,000 to $30,000 for students, as well as a company competition with rewards up to $500,000. The rules for the business competition require that you relocate your business to Michigan.</span>
