Business plan competition

Anyone with a bright idea for a business venture in science, technology and/or design has a few days left to apply for this year’s Oxford University business plan competition.

The competition, organised by the Oxford Science Enterprise Centre, makes a good case for taking part. Every entrant receives high level feedback from the first round judges and the opportunity to attend business plan workshops.

All ideas must be original, or a significant improvement on an existing business, and must have received no more than ?250 000 of funding so far. Anyone able to tick all these boxes should submit their entries by the deadline of 12 May 2005.
