<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial"><b>For many
innovations for underserved markets, writing a business plan is a key
step. Business plans are great at highlighting how to generate profits
using market forces, whether the profits return to the innovator or
remain in the community. During this 2-hour workshop taught by veteran
technology innovator and entrepreneur Catherine Merrill, we will walk
through the traditional sections of a business plan, exploring how
each helps convey the power an innovation has to change a community.
This workshop will help IDEAS teams and anyone starting a new project
to use the traditional business plan as a tool to induce others to
invest resources in their innovation.</b></font></blockquote>
