IMPACT 2020 is a competition where participants develop a social enterprise. The business can be either an idea or an established business, as long as the focus has a positive social impact. The business can also be for profit or non-profit. You will be asked to describe your business model and provide a short description in the application form. 

5 businesses will be selected from submissions based on business viability criteria to pitch for a chance to win a CASH PRIZE!

The top 5 chosen will move forward and receive a business pitch workshop. Afterwards the participants will be asked to submit a 5 minute business pitch video to the judges. Judges will choose a first and second place winner to be announced October 23rd as a part of BDC's Small Business Week.
