The entrepreneurship event category is a group of written events that involve writing a 10 to 20 page paper to either grow an existing business or create a new business. This can include introducing new products to the market, international business ventures, opening a franchise location, and many more. A unique aspect of this category is that most events are hypothetical plans but one of the events, Business Growth Plan, allows students who own a business to create and implement a plan to grow their existing company.
Events include:
Business Growth Plan
Franchise Business Plan
Independent Business Plan
Innovation Plan
International Business Plan
Start-Up Business Plan
