The Youth Business Development (YBD) competition has been a proud achievement in Entrepreneurship and Business Development by Saïd students over the last 5 years.
It works as follows.
What it is
Teams of 3-5 young entrepreneurs from anywhere in the world submit summary business proposals to SBS; the best are matched with mentors from among current MBA students. The teams and their mentors work on their business plans for three months through our dedicated online platform (http://youthbusdev.org) and then present them to a judging panel which includes senior finance practitioners. The winning team (or teams) are awarded a prize and offered continuing guidance in their project.
