Dear Colleagues:

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Business School is pleased to invite your graduate students to submit proposals to compete in its second annual International Business Plan Competition (www.ChinaBusinessPlanCompetition.com).

The 2007 HKUST International Business Plan Competition will be held May 3-5. All Graduate Students from every nation are invited to submit business plan proposals for consideration of participation.

Total Awards for the 2007 Competition will total approximately $25,000; however, the real prize is the chance for your students to offer their business proposals before an international panel of investors and executives in the financial hub of Asia.

As the only University Business Plan Competition in China open to complete graduate teams from other universities, the HKUST Competition provides a unique entrepreneurial opportunity for all graduate students.

We invite currently enrolled graduate students to submit a 5 – 7 page executive summary (format described below) of their business plans by email attachment by March 1, 2007 for full consideration. Submissions (format described below) should be emailed to the HKUST Contest Chair: Dr. Mark Cannice (HKUSTbp@ust.hk). Please indicate "HKUST International Business Plan Contestant" in the Subject line.

We ask that each team also submit an ‘Intent to compete’ note with the preliminary team members, university, and company name and brief description as soon as possible.

Please consider posting this opportunity for your students on your university website.
