The inaugural New Venture Expo is the culmination of work of the Lowth Entrepreneurship Center students and program participants. Graduate students in the M.S. in entrepreneurship program, as well as senior undergraduate students majoring in entrepreneurship, will present business concepts that were developed at the start of this academic year. Their concepts will be judged alongside Spartan Incubator and Accelerator program participants, many of whom have already committed hundreds of hours to their new ventures.

The students’ business concepts will compete in the following business and superlative categories:

• Tech, Online and Application

• Retail and Product

• Healthcare and Services

• Food and Beverage, Hospitality and Entertainment

Winners in each of the categories will be selected by experts in each field. Experts will include Lowth Center advisory board members, entrepreneurs- and experts-in-residence, UT faculty members and other community stakeholders in the Tampa Bay entrepreneurial ecosystem.
