One of the key initiatives of the centre is the commencement of a National Business Plan Competition. The mission of the contest is to encourage entrepreneurs in the creation, start-up and early-growth stages of high-growth businesses in Pakistan .
Participants will have the chance to win prizes and services that will help them launch their businesses. This countrywide contest will give an opportunity to compete for cash and in-kind prizes – but it will also give a chance to get constructive feedback on their business plans and to get help to move it from “virtual business” to reality.
The contests would tap into the entrepreneurial spirit of students, workers, companies and other institutions.
