Competitors will also meet fellow young entrepreneurs from around the world, as well as learn from professionals, investors, and each other. Each year we receive numerous business plan submissions from around the globe, and the top 15 teams are selected to pitch their business plans to a panel of Canadian business leaders, competing for over $150,000 in prizes for the top pitching entrepreneurs.
