The Entrepreneurs’ Organization has launched the 2008 Global Student Entrepreneur Awards. The program which started back in the 90’s aims to recognize the leading student entrepreneurs on the planet. In the United States we are looking to identify the ‘top 100 student entrepreneurs’ who will be paired down through virtual and live competitions where students will present their business to EO Member Judges. In particular they will have 30 minutes to present on their vision, obstacles overcome, their financials and where they are driving their company.
From the virtual and live competitions the top 16 student entrepreneurs will go to compete against student entrepreneurs from Australia, Sweden, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, Japan and other countries November 5-6th in Chicago, IL.
