Launched in 2005, the Growth Accelerator Program (GAP) is the upgraded version of the Spark/Verge/Fuel business plan competition.

26 Executive Summaries were submitted for judging in November 2005, 10 finalist companies were selected in December 2005 and the three top ventures were named in May 2006 at PTEN's Celebration of Entrepreneurs event: Aqualutions, AudioFusion and Cleantechnics International.
