Idea Pitch Competition

The CEO Idea Pitch Competition presents students with a great opportunity to pitch their business idea to a panel of judges, with a chance of winning cash prizes. "Idea Pitch" is a frequently used term, which literally means "tell me about your idea within the time that it would take to ride up an elevator."

Presenting yourself effectively is an essential tool in the world of business. A well-planned idea pitch can open the doors to success in your future. Please not that ideas may be at any stage of development from creation of concepts and ideas, to an established business.
