Junior Chamber International Malta to launch the 2010 Best Business Plan Competition

For the 9th consecutive year, Junior Chamber International Malta (JCI Malta) shall be holding its annual Best Business Plan Competition (BBP). Individuals aged between 18 and 40, are invited to develop their business ideas (either as an individual or as a group of up to 4 persons) and turn them into a concrete business plan, while standing the chance of winning up to €2,500 and potential access to the necessary finance for implementing the business plan. The JCI Best Business Plan Competition is supported by HSBC Bank Malta plc and KPMG.

JCI Malta is part of Junior Chamber International (JCI), a worldwide community of nearly 200,000 young active citizens in over 115 countries and territories. Its mission is to provide development opportunities that empower young people to create positive change. JCI launched this program in 2001. In so doing, JCI sought to foster the entrepreneurial spirit among its members and within communities around the world. To this end, JCI provides young entrepreneurs with the tools and the opportunity to turn an idea into a viable business plan.

As part of the programme, a number of training sessions shall be held by leading experts from various industries, and participants may avail themselves from a number of one-to-one guidance sessions to be provided by leading audit firm KPMG.

This year’s BBP competition shall be launched on 24 February 2010, following which, interested parties may obtain further information and download the competition application form by visiting the JCI Malta website, or contact Hermione Portelli by email or by telephone on 9982 6960. Applications and business plan proposals are to be submitted by 17 March 2010. The final business plan is to be submitted by September 2010, after which a panel of expert judges will be selecting the winning plan.

The business plan that will stand out will be that which clearly demonstrates the anticipated benefit to the local community, innovation, quality and a clear vision of the proposed project’s execution plan.

An introductory workshop on 'Idea Generation and Innovation' led by Ms Leonie Baldacchino, lecturer within The Edward de Bono Institute at the University of Malta shall be held on Thursday 25 February at 1830hrs at MISCO.
