€ 5,000Aiming high with the Q-BoOST competition
The variety of tasks involved in starting a business, taking the step into self-employment or launching a new product or service is a great challenge for many people and resembles a real summit climb with unpredictable obstacles and weather turns. Good preparation is essential both here and for life as an entrepreneur. Planning and the accompanying development of a viable business plan helps to embark on this adventure and perhaps means the start of an exciting journey.
In order to enable the best possible preparation and to allow one's "sparkling" idea to mature and develop in an accompanied and professional context, the business incubator "QUBUS Ostbelgien" (www.qubus-ostbelgien.be), in cooperation with the WFG Ostbelgien, the Ostbelgieninvest, the Grenz-Echo and the BRF, is organising the business plan competition "Q-BoOST" for the first time.
The aim of the competition is to unleash the economic and creative potential in East Belgium and to assist project promoters or young entrepreneurs in the start-up phase with a unique and holistic offer. After a pre-selection of the best written project applications, participants are accompanied over a period of six months in total and benefit from a variety of offers aimed at developing a marketable business model from their original idea and setting up a company.
The Bürgerfonds Ostbelgien donates the 1st prize (€ 5,000).
