A team of students from Laurentian University's business administration program are taking part in a business plan competition in South Korea Oct. 27 to Nov. 2.
Specifically, they're heading to Daejeon, South Korea, to participate in the International Business Plan Competition 2019 hosted by SolBridge International School of Business.
The Laurentian students are the first and only Canadian team at this event, said a press release from the university. They will be competing against nearly two dozen teams from all over the world.
Students will be expected to develop in-depth analysis and recommendations based on a real-world scenario involving a leading Korean multinational company.
The objective of the competition is to create networking opportunities and establish a platform to unleash creativity and innovative thinking.
The team consists of fourth-year business students Maxime Leduc, Sarah Napoli, Stephane Lauzon and Daniel Boileau.
Participating in this event is a great experiential learning opportunity for our students which meets outcome No. 6 of Laurentian University’s strategic plan, said the press release.
“We wish them the best of luck,” the university added.
