At first they won for their technical smarts and now they are winning for their business acumen.

The team behind the CPR Glove – Corey Centen, Nilesh Patel and Sarah Smith – placed second at the Ontario Enterprize 2008 business plan competition on January 18.  In addition to winning $2,000 they qualified to compete in Enterprize 08, the national finals, for finishing in the top three. The competition is being held in Vancouver from January 31 to February 4.

Two entries from the Xerox Centre for Engineering Entrepreneurship and Innovation also made the final round of Ontario Enterprize 2008, finishing in the top six of the more than 30 teams entered.

Alena Morozova and Aizhan Tursunbayeva finished fourth for the business plan they created for WiNovi.  The company is developing a wireless platform to deliver filtered, summarized, peer-reviewed, relevant, evidence-based medical knowledge to health care professionals on their wireless devices. They are working with Dr. Brian Haynes, a professor of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McMaster University.

Nimesh Bahl and Cristian Nunez were selected for the business plan they developed for Liquid Fibre Display.  The company develops electronic displays that combine a uniquely woven optical fiber array with current LCD (liquid crystal display) and LED (light-emitting diode) display sign technology providing high-resolution, high-brightness images at a lower cost.  They are working with Adrian Kitai, a professor of both engineering physics and material science and engineering.
