Business Plan Competitions

The BYU Management Society (BYUMS) recognizes the importance of Business Plan Competitions (BPC) as a vehicle to accelerate growth opportunities in developing countries. During the summer of 2024, the BYUMS is co-hosting a BPC with BYU-Pathway in Africa. Since 2024 is a pilot year, BYU-Pathway has identified students who have completed or are in the process of earning entrepreneurial certifications. Selected applicants will go through a series of competitions and cash prizes will be awarded to the winners by August 31, 2024. We are starting with a pilot in 2024 due to the sheer size of Africa. We hope to learn and develop best practices that will allow us to expand the BPC in the summer of 2025.
