12th Annual Charlottesville Business Innovation Council Awards

Once again the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council (CBIC), membership and community, came together for the 12th Annual Awards dinner on June 2, 2010. Gregory Fairchild, Director of the Tayloe Murphy Center at the Darden School of Business Administration at the University of Virginia. Fairchild spoke about the key elements necessary in creating a successful commercial enterprise - customers, talent, technology, context, and capital.
