The PTP Next Business Competition is a Triad-wide entrepreneurial
funding competition launched in 2011 because entrepreneurs, innovation and regional collaboration are the key to our region’s future vitality.

We have just wrapped up our application period for the most promising companies in the Piedmont Triad to compete for
PTP Next grants. Check back SOON to meet the entrepreneurs who have progressed to the Semifinals.

In addition to money, we can help connect  you to the know-how and  networks you need to succeed and grow.   Check back at the end of March to learn about our summer 2013 startup acceleration opportunity!

We’re part of an exciting new culture of entrepreneurship and engagement that is transforming the Piedmont Triad. Click here to learn more about our network of partners and supporters.

The PTP Next Business Competition is supported by the Piedmont Triad Partnership, the region’s leading economic development organization, and NC IDEA, a private non-profit organization that has provided an excess of $2.5 million in seed grants to 67 companies across  North Carolina.
