  • Kaplan Institute at Illinois Tech 3137 South Federal Street Chicago, IL, 60616 United States (map)

From Delta Institute:

Join us Tuesday, Oct. 27, to support sustainability in entrepreneurship. For over 10 years at our annual BOOST event, emerging entrepreneurs have shared innovative ideas to promote sustainability in their communities with innovative products and solutions. Please join us at this year’s event — hosted live in Chicago for both in-person and virtual guests — to hear their ideas and then cast your vote for which entrepreneurs you would like to win this year’s BOOST competition, including $5,000 awards to continue developing their start-ups.

Since its inception, the BOOST program has awarded grants to 18 start-ups ranging from local composting businesses, biodegradable hair products designed for Black women, regenerative agriculture farming, an accessible repair-and-share tool library, a zero-waste grocer, and much more.
