Course overview

Assessing viability of your ideas in a systematic manner is an integral requirement for any career path, not only if you want to embark an entrepreneurial career. Evidence suggests that your time at University is one of the best times to gain this experience. The eChallenge is a course designed to offer you a chance to perceive ideas from the perspective of pain experienced by or gain obtained by customers, develop innovative solutions using creative strategies, test ideas by interacting with customers, mentors and industry practitioners, and finally pitch ideas to a panel of investors from industry. Building your network during the industry interactions is an added benefit. Added to this, the course offers a range of cash and in-kind prizes, with winners announced at a black-tie awards dinner for all participants with industry veterans and investors. The course is the first step into entrepreneurship for many who have gone on to great entrepreneurial endeavours, as well as an enriching personal learning experience for all.
