ARE YOU THE NEXT BRIGHT IDEA CHAMPION?

The Next Bright Idea is Enderun Colleges’ business pitch and design competition for young aspiring entrepreneurs and creative thinkers. Since its inception in 2012, the Business Pitch Challenge has brought together hundreds of forward-thinking young business leaders who can make a real difference in the world. The Design Competition, on the other hand, cultivates participants’ artistic talents, allowing them to showcase their creative vision in the rapidly evolving fields of digital media and communications technology.

Do you have what it takes to be The Next Bright Idea Champion?

Now in its eleventh year, The Next Bright Idea invites high school students from Grades 10 to 12 to present their entrepreneurial concepts and works of art. The goal is to nurture and recognize the participants’ knowledge in pitching new business ideas and solutions to a particular global economic challenge. The competition also serves as a platform where they can hone and display their innate talent by creating original and compelling masterpieces that powerfully convey a specific social issue.

Winners will get a chance to take home Php 50,000 for the grand prize, Php 20,000 for the first runner-up, and Php 10,000 for the second runner-up.

Business Pitch Challenge

A business pitch is a concise presentation that outlines an idea of a new product or service to a potential investor. It’s basically delivering a business plan verbally. The goal is to convince a venture capitalist that your business idea is worth investing in, feasible, and effective.

With a theme, “Startups of the Future: Smart Enterprises for 2023 and Beyond,” participants are tasked to develop a start-up idea on emerging technologies and novel inventions, which are relevant and meaningful for this year now and beyond. As the world continues to move at the speed of light, many venture capitalists and investors are looking for game-changing, forward-thinking business concepts that offer innovation and concentrate on long-term solutions that are valuable today and in the future.
