The entire world is going through a dynamic shift right now. Traditional jobs are becoming overpowered, and we can visibly see the effects of income inequality. The drastic changes in our economy have led to more and more people to take up entrepreneurial outlooks.
However, in today’s competitive market, the vague concept of running a business is not going to help entrepreneurs stay in business. Unique, innovative, and creative approaches are seemingly the best shot at achieving success in the turbulent market arena.

This is a business idea competition that MELBU initiated, dedicated to six universities who partnered up under the platform of MELBU.
