肯考迪娅 Business Plan Competition

4月6日, 2024, 肯考迪娅 University Irvine will host the 9th Annual 肯考迪娅 Business Plan Competition (CBPC). It will facilitate two divisions: an undergraduate division composed of 肯考迪娅 undergraduate students and a high school division comprised of high school teams from the Orange County area.

The Competition will consist of two parts: The written business plan and the oral presentation. The written business plan document is based on professional business plans that any startup would require and follows a provided outline. Next, the oral presentation is an 8-12 minute oral presentation of this idea to our judges in a 鲨鱼缸 风格设置.

车间s will be included throughout the semester before the competition to help students develop their plan, and mentors will be available as well to help guide students throughout the process. We are excited to hold our competition this year!
