The sixth Annual Minnesota Cup, a statewide competition that seeks out aspiring entrepreneurs with breakthrough business ideas, announced competition winners today.

The business award winners fell into six categories: high-tech, bioscience, clean technology and renewable energy, general, social and student.

More than $130,000 in prizes will be awarded to Minnesota Cup winners, as well as consulting services from leaders in finance, accounting, legal and management support services. Each division finalist – with the exception of the student category – will be awarded $20,000 in seed capital. The grand prize winner,which will be announced Sept. 13, will be awarded an additional $20,000 and receive the Minnesota Cup, presented by David and Carolyn Cleveland and sponsored by the University of Minnesota.
