Empresario – The Business Plan Showcase

The flagship event of the IIMA Finance Conclave 2010 is the Empresario - Business Plan Showcase brought to you in association with the CIIE.

Staying true to our objective of bringing together the community of entrepreneurs, academicians, and investors, the event will be an opportunity like none other for budding entrepreneurs committed to making their dreams a reality.  It will provide the best teams with a platform to present their ideas before VCs, potential investors and industry experts. A parallel objective is to create active deal-flow for venture capital investors to work on.

Each B-Plan will be scrutinized through a rigorous two step process of evaluation culminating in a closed door business plan presentation before investors. Teams would not only get a golden chance to get seed funding from the potential investors, but also the opportunity to be incubated at the CIIE.
Entries will be accepted for the following categories:

• Clean Tech & Renewable Energy
• Telecommunication
• Web Portals
• Electronics
• IT/ITES Services
• IT-Software
• Power
