Then join the China-UK Entrepreneurship Challenge 2014!
The China-UK Entrepreneurship Competition aims to encourage new business ventures between China and the United Kingdom and is intended to simulate the real-world process of entrepreneurs soliciting start-up funds from early-stage investors and venture capital firms. The competition is part of the PMI2 (Prime Minister Initiative II) Connect project, supported by British Council and the Confucius Institute programme funded by Hanban.
The competition is open to university teams – students and post docs – both in the UK and China. Teams will be selected to participate in this competition for:
• £5,000 cash prizes
• An investment opportunity of £250,000 for the best business plans
Initial registration, proposal submission and selection deadline is 5pm Monday 14 April 2014.
