IE BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION

The IE Business Plan Competition receives plans from a large number of IE Business School MBA students that compete for the unique opportunity to present their business ideas before a panel of investors as they seek the funding they need to put their idea into practice or to consolidate their company.

During the three phases that comprise the competition, the business projects will be evaluated, recommended and selected using criteria based strictly on market conditions. The judges panel will include representatives of the IE Community and Caja Madrid.

Recommendations will be made for each project at each stage of the process, thus adding to the learning experience and improving the quality and competitiveness of IE students.

The finals will take place on Venture Day, when 10 teams will present their projects to an audience of potential investors. The winning plan will receive a prize and privileged access to a wide range of professional services.
