Your idea can be as exciting and novel as you like; it can be for a new product or service and come from any sector. You can submit ideas on your own or as part of a team and you can also submit multiple entries to increase your chances of winning, PLUS you get 15 Employability Points per entry!

We have two amazing top prizes:

One team will be selected to represent the University of Kent in the prestigious Global Business Concept Challenge in Virginia, USA from 16-22 August 2015, with the chance to win up to $25,000!
  • A cash prize of £1,000, your own rent-free office in the Kent Enterprise Hub and a business mentor from Santander. The £1,000 prize will enable the winner(s) to take their idea forward and set up a company. It will also enable you to have your own office in the Kent Enterprise Hub.
