Enterprise Challenge
The Enterprise Challenge is an annual business plan competition for new and emerging companies in Yakima and Kittitas Counties. We believe it is a great way for Yakima County Development Association and the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce to celebrate small business and support promising ventures in Central Washington. More than 250 entrepreneurs have competed in the contest since its inception and many of them have gone on to start their businesses in our community.
The 2023 competition runs from Thursday, March 2, 2023 and runs through Tuesday, May 9, 2023. The 2023 Enterprise Challenge will take place in-person with opportunities for virtual attendance. Organizers will update contestants on any schedule changes.
