The Path to Prosperity Business Competition is an annual business development competition for businesses with a positive economic, environmental, and community impact on Southeast Alaska. Businesses are judged based on their feasibility and their contributions to community development. The competition includes an in-person training called Entrepreneur Camp which takes place in Anchorage from September 30th – October 3rd and that awards $20,000 each to two winning businesses annually. 

This year’s competition cycle is open to Alaska Native individuals who reside in Southeast Alaska and are building businesses that intend to have a positive social, ecological and economic impact on their communities. 

Program awards can be used for consulting, technical assistance, and long-term capital expenditures. One of the two awards will be designated for a STEM- and/or TEK-related business.
