Fuel for jobs
The Piedmont Triad Entrepreneurial Network handed out money last night to three companies in one of its business plan competitions.
The winners of the "Fuel" contest:
A High Point maker of lightweight panels for the trucking industry, Transportation Systems Solutions, took home the top prize: $50,000.
Second place and $20,000 went to SourceHorizon, a supply chain company that helps manufacturers find and assess suppliers.
Third place and $10,000 went to C Change Surgical, a medical device company.
"We are thrilled with the business ideas presented by the winning companies," said Lisa Blakley, the CEO of PTEN. "Our plan is to foster their ideas and concepts, through mentoring, networking and EntreConnect events, into high-growth Triad businesses."
