The Competition, founded in the year 2000, is a central element in INSEAD’s entrepreneurship vision.
Our MBA and EMBA students work on venture projects during their INSEAD program, ideally leveraging the different courses and entrepreneurship electives. The competition represents a natural and exciting step in the venture’s development, allowing the teams to pitch their venture concept and planning.
Finalist teams will present their new ventures to a panel of five distinguished judges on Friday 9 December 2011, on INSEAD’s Asia Campus in Singapore.
The total prize purse is €50,000 divided as follows:
€10,000 - BVC Winner
€5,000 - BVC Runner-Up
€25,000 - Skolkovo Prize for IT, Bio-Tech, Medicine Technology, Energy Efficiency, Nuclear Energy or Space Technologies (This prize is underwritten by the Skolkovo Innovation Centre)
€5,000 - The Anat and Dov Bar-Gera Entrepreneurship Award for Women
€5,000 - Social Impact Award
The awards are valuable to help start the new venture. The winners of the competition also gain credibility and media exposure, as well as excitement and momentum to take their ventures forward. Read more about it under Entry Rules & BVC Prize Purse.
