Inside The Hub

The Hub is now Accepting Applications for the Paso del Norte Venture Competition + Expo

Every spring for the last 6 years the region has showcased entrepreneurship by hosting a venture competition that for the first time last year, included both professionals and students.  This year the Paso del Norte Venture Competition has been combined with the Paso del Norte Venture Expo and will be held March 6 – 8, 2014.  The PdNVC+E is  a wonderful venue for emerging entrepreneurs to expand their networks, develop new opportunities, and become active players in the regional economy.   It is also an opportunity to experience firsthand the innovative products and services being launched in the region.
 
The Hub is currently seeking start-up companies that have the desire to scale globally to participate in the competition professional track. The deadline to register is February 17, 2014.    The Hub is also seeking individuals and organizations that would like to support this effort.  If you are interested in either participating in or supporting the PdNVC+E,  please click here and/or call Nancy Lowery at 915.321.3121.
