BiD Challenge Uganda 2008

The Business in Development (BiD) Challenge Ugana puts innovative entrepreneurs with great business plans in touch with investors. Accepted plans receive feedback and are asked to present a complete business plan. Some plans are eligible for coaching. Promissing entrepreneurs will be invited to the BiD Marketplace and are eligible to become awarded. One entrepreneur will 'win' a business trip to the Netherlands.
