POL-ITE Entrepreneurs' Challenge
The POL-ITE Entrepreneurs’ Challenge is an inaugural challenge jointly organised by the Institute of Technical Education and local polytechnics with ACE.SG (Action Community For Entrepreneurship) and supported by the Ministry of Education.
Shortlisted teams in PET or Alumni tracks will go through a developmental programme which will prepare them with the basics of starting a business. The top 3 category winners will be determined after the National Youth Entrepreneurship Awards (NYEA) Live Pitch and receive prize money of up to 10K, 7K, or 5K SGD and/or seed funding.
What's in it for you?
As part of the three months programme, you will be equipped with skills and knowledge to help you learn about starting a business.
There will also be networking and dedicated mentoring opportunities, and you will take part in a pitch battle for cash prizes and opportunities to take your ideas further by securing additional funding. The POL-ITE Entrepreneurs' Challenge is also integrated with ACE.SG’s National Youth Entrepreneurship Awards (NYEA) to provide you with broader exposure and recognition.
