The SparkWV Competition has been an incredible journey, showcasing an incredible range of creativity, problem-solving, and entrepreneurial thinking from students across West Virginia. From innovative technology solutions to community-driven small businesses, students demonstrated not only strong ideas, but resilience, professionalism, and a true entrepreneurial mindset. The competition began with 135 entrepreneurs from 18 West Virginia counties, working to bring 74 innovative business ideas to life.  

Throughout the first and second rounds, participants showcased their business concepts, refining their ideas with the guidance of mentors and feedback from judges. This year’s competition was incredibly close, and after careful evaluation we are thrilled to announce that the top six teams from each track have earned a spot in the final round of the SparkWV competition.
