NIBS Worldwide Business Plan Competition 2021
The NIBS Worldwide Business Plan Competition aims to stimulate entrepreneurship among students.
Teams are challenged to conceive of a new service or product offering, and then create a business plan and concept pitch video aimed at convincing potential investors to finance the business.
Each year, the three best submissions are selected by a four-person jury of business professionals and academics to compete in the Final Round.
The videos produced by these three teams are then shown during a special session held at the NIBS Annual Conference in May, where delegate votes help to determine the winner.
