For the driven and aspiring entrepreneurs within our university, Idea 5 has set a new benchmark as the most thrilling and dynamic pitch competition we've witnessed so far. This unique contest, designed to ignite the innovative spirit of our students, was strategically divided into two distinct phases to test and enhance their entrepreneurial skills. The first phase, dubbed "The 5 Cube Challenge," encouraged participants to think outside the box and tackle problems with creative solutions. Following this, the "My Startup Strategy" phase allowed them to dive deeper into the practical aspects of building a startup, requiring them to formulate and present comprehensive business strategies. These stages were crafted not just as competitions, but as stepping stones for budding entrepreneurs to refine their ideas and visions.

The competition, beyond being a mere contest, served as a gateway for students to access unparalleled opportunities for growth and development. By participating, they stood a chance to have their business ideas incubated at SOACH-TBI, an incubator known for its commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. This aspect of the competition was particularly enticing, as it offered more than just recognition; it provided practical support and resources to turn promising ideas into viable business ventures. Each challenge within the competition was designed to push participants to their limits, encourage collaboration, and stimulate critical thinking. It was not only an opportunity to compete but to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from seasoned entrepreneurs, and take significant steps toward realizing their entrepreneurial dreams.
