This Competition provides students and recent alumni of non-U.S. schools the unique opportunity to access substantial funding and support to implement their business ideas in New York City.
In addition to funding prospects, the contestants will gain valuable experience interacting with leaders from top venture capitalist firms and businesses in New York City, as well as the opportunities to tour the City and learn about its robust business and entrepreneurship community.
Teams of 2-5 participants are invited to submit business plans for ideas that may be commercially viable in New York City. Six teams of finalists (three from the undergraduate track and three from the graduate track) will win a six-day, all-expenses-paid trip to New York City in April 2011 to participate in the final round of the Competition, which will be hosted at Columbia University.
UNSW was identified as a strong candidate for the Competition due to the superior quality of our programs and students.
More information on the Competition can be found on at the NYCEDC website (www.nycedc.com/nextidea). Also see attached a poster and press package.
