The 4th edition of BiD Challenge Peru, closed on Thursday Dec 10th, with a great event featuring 30 finalist entrepreneurs and a diverse public at the "Hotel Los Delfines" in Lima. The event was divided in 2 parts; first a "Rueda de Negocios" (Investor MarketPlace) and the Award Event and Cocktail
The Market Place
At the Marketplace 30 motivated finalists had their stands and were available to expose and pitch their businesses to an audience of investors, representatives of NGOs, government and the general public. Many had travelled from far and brought their merchandise to display, mostly accompanied with very clear and seductive investment proposals on the table.
All plans had been assessed by the Peru team and subsequently the Jury the week(s) before, and a selection of winners was made based on live presentations and personal interviews. The Jury was very satisfied with the quality of the participants and their presentations, so it was especially hard to reach a conclusion.
