Close to 150 companies from across Nebraska participated in the 2012 program, including a handful — Beehive Industries, EliteForm, MindMixer, Nebraska Global, PinPoint, Semcat and Volano Solutions — that are covered fairly frequently here on Silicon Prairie News.
During Thursday’s event, entrepreneurs who participated in the 2012 program will provide progress reports, share future plans and receive official Gallup certification. Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman and Gallup chairman Jim Clifton are among the government and business leaders scheduled to participate in Thursday’s proceedings.
The event is free and open to the public. Registration can be completed online.
