What is an entrepreneurial project?
The entrepreneurial project:
- is a product, service or event that satisfies a want or need in the community, find a solution to a problem or improve a situation for a target audience that goes beyond the project participants themselves;
- places students at the heart of the action, allowing them to participate actively in the decisions and tasks required to carry out all the steps;
- allows young people to develop their entrepreneurial spirit as well as different values and entrepreneurial characteristics.
Scholastic or Business Creation section?
A business project by a student or group of students aged 18 years or over may be entered either in the Scholastic section or the Business Creation section, so long as it complies with all eligibility criteria. However, a project cannot be entered simultaneously in both sections for the same edition of the Défi OSEntreprendre.
A project that has already been registered in the Scholastic section of the Défi OSEntreprendre, whether or not it was a prizewinner, may be entered in the Business Creation section in a subsequent edition of the Challenge, so long as the project respects all eligibility criteria.
However, students who have a business plan for a new business, including projects developed as part of a “Starting a Business” program in vocational training, are strongly advised to register their project in the Business Creation section.
