All Other Countries*

*All countries listed on the DAC list of the OECD. For more info see the Participation Criteria.

As of 2008 we will no longer be organising the BiD Challenge International.

We have come to this decision because we want to be able to put more emphasis on our focus countries. The focus countries of 2008 are: Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Jordan, Rwanda and the Philippines.

If your plan has as Country of Business other than the above, then you unfortunately can not compete in a BiD Challenge this year.

Matchmaking with investors and financiers

However, we have, as of this year also set up a matchmaking department, which actively works on matching good business plans to investors. This matchmaking is not subject to any specific developing country, as long as the business plan fits the Participation Criteria and is accepted through our Assessment process. You can therefore still submit your business plan online if you like and if your plan meets our Assessment standards it could become eligible for Matchmaking.

For more information please go to Present your plan.
