About the Program

GENIUS Business (now officially called GENIUS Entrepreneurship) raises awareness of environmental values in the business world, from bringing green products and services to market to developing a social responsibility plan for any business aiming to have a positive relationship to the society and the environment in which it operates. Each project can be prepared and presented by up to two students. Participants must prepare and present a business plan to judges as though they were making a pitch for funding, also known as an investment proposal.
