The Pace University Business Plan Competition is held to foster the entrepreneurial spirit among students, promote practical business skills, and encourage the creation of new ventures. Currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students at Pace, as well as recent Pace alumni (those who have graduated within the past two years), are encouraged to submit an original Business Plan each spring semester. Plans may be submitted for commercial businesses as well as social ventures.

Learn about exciting new business plans and this year's theme 'From Plan to Reality: What it really takes to start a new business.'

All entries must be for an original concept and may be submitted individually or in teams of two to four. All plans are limited to 40 pages and must contain a one-page executive summary. Completed business plans should be submitted by e-mail to: bbachenheimer@pace.edu (Microsoft Word® documents only). For additional information, please contact:
