FORTUNE, one of the leading magazines in the world focused on businesses and their growth, announced they are teaming up with the RBPC in 2010 to enhance the already prestigious $800,000 international competition hosted by the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship (Rice Alliance) and the Jesse H.

"We're thrilled to be joining forces with the Rice Business Plan Competition," says Hank Gilman, Fortune magazine's deputy editor. "There's nothing more exciting in the business world than showcasing promising young entrepreneurs and their ideas."
