Many students choose to study business because they hope to start businesses or non-profit organizations of their own someday or to join a family business, or to bring an entrepreneurial spirit in their future profession. They need a way to practice their business plan writing and presenting skills outside the classroom.  With the experience that SZABIST has in organizing business plan competitions and with the expertise our faculty members have in helping students learn the fundamentals of business reasoning, we can work together to prepare these business students for the future.

ZAB Maverick – A business plan competition was organized in the Entrepreneurial Week on 26^th and 27^th November 2019 with the aim of achieving the following objectives:

• An opportunity for students to develop their business plans and acquire feedback from business professionals and investors to improve it further
• An opportunity for students to get investment for their business idea that might turn out to be a successful venture
• Involve a multiple-step process for giving some constructive feedback to all participants while promoting a small number of teams (6-10) to the final round.
• Provide a way for students to support one another and build a sense of community in the midst of competition.
