The Competition is designed to foster entrepreneurial activities by giving RMIT students the opportunity to take their bright ideas and develop them to produce new, innovative companies and ventures. The Competition is open to all students of all sectors and in all locations of the University.
Participating teams (of at least two members) develop professional business plans and submit them to a panel of judges. Each team must have at least one currently enrolled student. A prize pool of up to $80,000 will be distributed amongst the winning teams.
Professional Skills Seminars and Business Mentoring are provided to assist teams throughout the three stages of the competition .
This is a great opportunity to develop professional business planning skills under the guidance of business experts.
Orientation is enjoyed by new (and returning) students. It is focused on learning how to study, as well as being inducted into university life – meeting students and staff, joining clubs, playing sport, and being fed and entertained. Whether you are a local, international or exchange student, studying at TAFE, undergraduate or postgraduate level, there’s bound to be an activity or information session to suit you.Find out what’s happening at RMIT Business!
