National BiD Challenge competitons in 7 countries

The BiD Challenge International was created in the Netherlands in 2004. It received proactive support and enthusiasm from Dutch companies, NGO's and organisations. Due to the enthusiasm with which the BiD Challenge model was received, the BiD Network Foundation decided to expand its effects to other countries and language areas.

Implementing the competition on a national level has many benefits. Language barriers are taken away and local networks, finance and expertise can be mobilized for more effective results. By organizing the national competitions in different countries, the BiD Network Foundation hopes to stimulate local markets for meso-finance and business development services.

The BiD Network Foundation has ambitions to set up a total of 20 National BiD Challenge Competitions before 2010.

The national competititons are open to residents of the countries in question. The submitted business plans have to target the country of residence. For more specific information on the BiD Challenge competitions, please click on the link of the country of your interest.
