Phase one of The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Challenge is now complete and with that it is with much excitement and great pleasure that we can announce the top schools across the country whose teams have reached the regional finals of our prestigious Enterprise Challenge competition this year.
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 Thursday 02 May 2019.
The Enterprise Challenge Regional Finals are free to attend open events; to which friends, parents and supporters are all welcome to attend. They will of course 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 as well as a special Q&A with a guest speaker on the day. (Please find a link beneath each listing below where you can order tickets and register your attendance.)
Congratulations to not just these shortlisted schools but to all of 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.
