Workshops being offered to prepare entrepreneurs for Top Gun program
The University of Maine is accepting applications for the 2017 Top Gun Bangor Region Class, a program offered to the area’s entrepreneurs who have aspirations to achieve high growth through innovation.
To help companies applying for the Top Gun class, UMaine will host four sessions for questions and assistance with preparing a successful Top Gun application and slide deck.
Office hours are scheduled for:
- 11 a.m.–1 p.m. Jan. 3 and 8–10 a.m. Jan. 9 at the UpStart Center for Entrepreneurship in Orono, 20 Godfrey Drive; and
- 11 a.m.–1 p.m. Jan. 5 and 4–6 p.m. Jan. 11 at CoVort in Bangor, 49 Main Street.
The Top Gun program is hosted and organized by UMaine in the Bangor region in partnership with the Maine Center for Entrepreneurial Development, and involves many local business sponsors, program advisers and mentors.
“The University of Maine is excited to work with the Maine Center for Entrepreneurial Development to offer the Top Gun program in the Bangor region again,” says Renee Kelly, director of economic development initiatives at UMaine. “The connections and mentoring provided to the companies in the four years of Bangor area classes have been invaluable to their continued growth and development.”
