Who'll be the best Student Entrepreneur?

Entrepreneurship shows daring, creativity and especially: thoroughness. Not only making a plan, but also implement it! There already existed different prices for enterprising students with a strong business plan. However, a price for students who run a real company was still missing. That was the reason for Pia van Boven, owner of ImpressiveGreenApple, to came up with the idea of initiating the Students Entrepreneur Award. Beside the fact that the most promising student entrepreneurs will be rewarded, other students will be stimulated to be active beside their study. [/p]
On September 1th 2009 the winner of this competition will be spectacularly revealed in the Fortis Circustheater Scheveningen. Marlies Dekkers, lingerie designer and entrepreneur, will hand out the price. Besides the grand prize of E 5000 and 15 hours of consultancy by KPMG, the entrepreneur with the most courage and potential will be awarded the Press Price as well; this consists of an extensive media campaign in the newspaper Dagblad De Pers. Besides this, the most innovative entrepreneur will have the enormous advantage of 25 hours consultancy by KMPG.

August 10, 2009
SAN FRANCISCO -- These are great days for female undergraduates, who with their greater numbers are excelling in higher education, leaving their male counterparts in the dust. That's the increasingly common view, at least, leading to calls in some quarters to focus more on male students. Read more:
