Business Plan Competition
The business plan competition brings together teams of two to six students from several accredited Canadian post-secondary institutions. Teams first participate in regional competitions in their respective regions:
- Enterprize West 2012 (BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, NWT) - University of BC
- Enterprize Central 2012 (Manitoba, Ontario, Nunavut) - University of Guelph
- Enterprize Quebec 2012 (Quebec) - McGill University
- Enterprize Atlantic 2012 (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland, & Labrador) - Mount Allison University
The top business plans from each region will go on to compete in the national competition in Vancouver, BC in early February.
In 2008, 100 teams from 16 different Canadian post-secondary institutions were selected to compete in their respective regional competitions. Of these 100, the top three were chosen from each of the four regions to compete in the national finals in Vancouver. Over $80,000 in prize money was awarded in 2008, with a $20,000 business grant awarded to the top team. With a prize pool worth over $100,000, the 2009 competition will be the largest of its kind in Canada.

Famous quotes containing the words business, plan and/or competition:
“We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice—that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men—because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“Every sect is a moral check on its neighbour. Competition is as wholesome in religion as in commerce.”
—Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
