The Business Heroes competition will be made up of mixed teams of talented students and experienced corporate employees.

Teams will be given seed funding of £1,000 and challenged to come up with either an event or a retail proposition that will bring in income of at least £10,000 to help save children’s lives in emergencies around the world.

The ultimate Business Heroes of the year will be the team that generates the most income from their £1,000 investment.

Participants are free to come up with their own team structures but must ensure they appoint one Managing Director. View our suggested team roles here.

Students will be provided with travel expenses to make three trips to visit their corporate partners during the course of the competition.

Please keep 21 October and 27 January free for training and awards events.
