Why participate?

Pitch It! is a great opportunity for YOU to build commercial awareness, to engage with a wider commercial and entrepreneurial community, and to apply what you learn into real life practice. Students develop expertise through the event, such as financial awareness, strategic thinking, and a innovative and creative approach to challenges, qualities key to success in future employment and self-employment.

Once you have participated in a business plan competition you will find yourself better equipped to explain in a job interview how you have developed:

• awareness of key aspects of organisational success
• leadership and team working skills
• a market- and customer-oriented outlook
• the ability to develop a viable business model
• financial awareness
• research, sales and presentation skills.
