Teams of young entrepreneurs recently joined Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) online to compete in the 100-Day Entrepreneurship Challenge.
Sixteen teams from 12 schools across the country took part in the contest, organised by LUMS, which challenged contestants to come up with a business idea which addressed one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Ideas included a subscription box to teach children about sustainability, an app to encourage people to recycle by awarding them vouchers or lives within a linked mobile game, and a responsibly produced hairbrush made of plastic waste from hair salons.
Teams competed for two main prizes, one awarded by LUMS’ Department of Entrepreneurship and Strategy and one awarded by LUMS’ Entrepreneurs-in-Residence (EIRs).
