Hattiesburg, MS - Noetic Technologies, Inc. is proud to announce the opening call for entries for the 5th annual “Invent Your Future!” competition.
Invent Your Future is the invention competition featuring a total of $20,000 in cash prizes! The technology-oriented competition is designed to identify innovative ideas in Mississippi and the surrounding region, and to foster their commercial potential.
The deadline for entry submissions is April 3, 2009. Finalists will be selected for the live competition on April 28, 2009 in the Thad Cochran Center at The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. Final contenders are required to make a 15-minute presentation and have a five-minute Q & A session with a panel of three external judges who will select the winners.
“The competition is open to showcase inventions from any field, whether it is biochemistry, polymers, nanotech, biotech, electronics, health care, consumer goods, etc.”, said Kelli Booth, Vice President of Marketing for Noetic. “Entries must involve an invention, but they do not necessarily have to be products. Just show us something novel that solves an existing problem that no other product can.”
“We are extremely excited about this year’s competition”, said Les Goff, President/CEO of Noetic. “Every year we are impressed with the creativity and broad spectrum of ideas and inventions. This year should be no exception.”
Invent Your Future serves as a launching point for many inventors and led to the formation of several new companies. Winners from the past three Invent Your Future contests have enjoyed further success in other competitions such as the Memphis Fed Ex Business Plan Competition and the Mississippi Technology Alliance Business Plan Competition.
