Your big chance
Apr 14 2009 by Sue Scott, Evening Gazette
THE If We Can, You Can Challenge, organised by the Entrepreneurs’ Forum and backed by nebusiness is open to entrepreneurs at all stages of developing their business ideas.
Entrants have until May 3 to log on at www.ifwecanyoucan.co.uk/challenge and put themselves or a friend forward. There are also links and details on the nebusiness.co.uk and gazettelive.co.uk websites.
A shortlist of five entrants will then be offered the chance to meet a Pick Our Brains Opportunity panel to discuss business ideas with last year’s finalists and senior Forum members. Two will then go into the final and be put forward for the public vote, with the winners announced on June 4.
Everyone who enters will benefit from being part of a growing online community of like-minded entrepreneurs at www.ifwecanyoucan.co.uk, which includes more than 330 entrepreneurs and 43 mentors.
Prize winners will benefit from exclusive access to senior entrepreneurs across the region; business gadgets; a business services package worth £5,000; ongoing advice; a place at the Entrepreneurs’ Forum Annual Conference and Dinner in May worth £270; and one year’s membership of the Entrepreneurs’ Forum.
