50 pupils won grants for their business ideas in the "I want to be an entrepreneur!" contest
Developing entrepreneurial skills and thinking and applying them in practice can start in childhood. Thus, 50 children and youths had the opportunity to present their entrepreneurial ideas and even get grants for their realisation in the business project competition, launched by the Business Academy for Children and Teenagers "Prospera" with the support of maib.
The 12th edition of the contest "I want to be an entrepreneur!" brought together pupils aged 7 to17 from Prospera.They shared their entrepreneurial aspirations and the most ingenious business ideas they dream of implementing.
The participants presented 11 business projects they developed working together as a team, guided by the academy's mentors. The jury of 8 business people welcomed them with a dose of inspiration and motivation and grants that will make these dreams come true.
The event focused on financial and entrepreneurial education concepts that ensure an excellent background for further developing pupils' skills and knowledge. During the event, schoolchildren could promote and sell their products at the fair and learn more about maib junior, the coolest bank card for children and teenagers, by opening a card directly at the event.
