- The Challenge has a series of workshops that lead entrants through a variety of business skills such as Business Action Planning, Marketing and How to Make the Perfect Pitch (by ESpark).
- There is a £12,000 prize fund, one year incubation and on-going industry expert mentoring support.
- We cover students travel expenses to events.
