Competitions from RBS and FIG invite enterprising students to enter for cash prizes and investment opportunities
The RBS EnterprisingU competition has launched for the second year, with £40,000 worth of prizes!
The annual competition, created by Find Invest Grow and sponsored by the RBS Group, offers a unique online platform for students to “road-test” their business ideas, while building the framework for a professional business plan at the same time.
It is open to students and graduates of the past 5 years: they don’t have to be economics grads with business experience – anyone can enter. The platform enables students to explore the viability of their business idea, by asking the right questions and building the appropriate framework.
Investors will be reviewing and judging entrants to decide on the 20 semi-finalists who will be selected to attend the training workshops. The 10 finalists will be pitching their business ideas to a room full of investors, with the chance of winning prizes of £25,000, £10,000, and £5,000.
The competition is now open, at: http://www.rbsenterprisingu.com
Encourage your students / recent graduates to apply!![]()
The deadline for completed entrants is midnight on 19th July 2013.
