  • Reaching out into communities to find fledgling entrepreneurs

    Business Plan Competitions are essentially a contest where business plans, submitted by aspiring entrepreneurs, are compared, and judged, according to a set of criteria published prior to the launch of the competition. Winners go on to receive incubation and business support to help them set down strong roots in a particular locality, grow and employ more people.
