The first stage of The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Challenge is now complete. With that we’re excited to announce our highest scoring schools from across the country whose teams have reached the regional finals as our official Enterprise Challenge Regional Finalists in this year’s Enterprise Challenge competition.
With the addition of three new regions this year, the competition is its largest to date reaching some of the exceptional talent of even more young, people far and wide. The additional regions this year not only means fiercer competition but takes our total of regional finals across the country to nine.
Each of the successful teams will now have the chance to compete against their peers from across their region, battling for a place at The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Challenge Grand Finals held in London on Wednesday 06th May 2020.
The Enterprise Challenge Regional Finals are free and open for all those interested to attend. They will feature each of our top schools in the region, who will pitch each of their social enterprise business ideas in front of a panel of high profile expert judges from across a number of industries, as well as a special Q&A with a special guest speaker on the day.
A huge congratulations to not just these shortlisted schools but to all those who participated in the competition this year. Eleven years on the high standard shown by all competitors is a testament to the talent of our young people in schools throughout and across the UK.
