The competition is the largest business plan competition in Canada, and this is the second consecutive year that winners of the regional qualifying competition, Enterprise Atlantic, have claimed top spot in the nation.
Gallibois, Murray, and Corey represented UNB as VerifyRX and defeated 11 other teams en route to capturing the top spot in the competition. Originally 90 schools attempted to qualify for the national competition in Vancouver.
