OVERVIEW HOST CITY KEY DATES GUIDELINES
The International Business Plan Competition (IBPC) is an annual global competition hosted by SolBridge International School of Business. Since its establishment in 2013, IBPC has brought together talented undergraduate students from partner universities around the world to develop innovative solutions to real-world business challenges.
The competition provides participants with an opportunity to apply their business knowledge in a practical setting while enhancing their analytical thinking, creativity, teamwork, and presentation skills. Working in teams, students analyze a business case provided by an industry partner and propose strategic solutions before presenting their ideas to a panel of academic and industry experts.
IBPC consists of two stages: a Qualifying Round conducted online and a Final Round held at SolBridge in Daejeon, South Korea, where selected finalist teams compete in person. In addition to the competition itself, participants have the opportunity to engage in networking activities, experience Korean culture, and connect with students and professionals from around the world.
More than just a competition, IBPC serves as a platform for cross-cultural collaboration, global learning, and professional development, preparing participants to become future business leaders in an increasingly interconnected world.
