BBP BACKGROUND
JCI launched the Best Business Plan (BBP) competition as a flagship program in 2001. In doing so, JCI sought to foster the entrepreneurial spirit among its members and the community in general. To facilitate this, JCI provides young entrepreneurs with the tools and opportunity to turn an idea into a concrete business plan. Since its inception, the JCI Best Business Plan competition has helped launch 7 new enterprises.
Today, choosing to be an entrepreneur is an honorable career decision. More and more, entrepreneurism is being promoted as the future driver of advanced economies. Governments, educational institutions and NGO are all launching programs aimed at advancing entrepreneurship. Equally important is the need for entrepreneurs with a strong commitment to social values, integrity and principles. Through this program JCI’s intentions are not simply to offer assistance to young entrepreneur through a financial award. They are equally trying to introduce them to a worldwide network of young entrepreneurial leaders that possess these characteristics. The opportunity to form mentoring friendships with these leaders is priceless.
This competition is open to all young entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 40, JCI member or not. As a result, JCI accepts entries from its National Organization Members (NOM) as well as from Universities, ICC National Organizations, Local Chambers of Commerce, Young Entrepreneurs of Europe, & AIESEC.
Canadian entries will not be accepted directly by JCI. All Canadian entries must be submitted to JCI Canada’s BBP competition.
