An overall of  31 students in 9 groups presented their work. They received training in the following topics: business attitude, entrepreneurship, business idea, industry analysis, strategic planning and human resource management, marketing and techniques of finance and presentation.

The students came up with various business ideas: amusement park, events organizer firm, creative education center, cereals processing industry company, sweet-shop, handmade jewelry and fitness center for women. The presentations were evaluated by a professional jury which decided the final score:
