Competition
The Antalya stage serves as a semifinal of the competition and offers an intensive learning, development, and experience process for all teams participating from Turkey. Through this program, students not only prepare for the competition but also have the opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial skills in a professional environment.
Participants take part in interactive workshops on entrepreneurship fundamentals, problem discovery, solution validation, and the lean business model canvas. Through these workshops, teams make their ideas stronger and more actionable.
Each team participates in one-on-one desk sessions alongside experienced mentors. Team dynamics are strengthened through team coaching, and the project idea is shaped with professional perspectives.
Teams present their projects to the jury through brief pitches and receive direct feedback. This serves as a “rehearsal” before the final, allowing students to identify their gaps and make improvements.
On the final day in Antalya, selected teams take the stage at the “Turkey Final.” Based on the evaluations made here, the teams that earn the right to compete at the Grand Final in the UK are determined.
Students connect with peers from different schools while also building relationships with sponsor companies, jury members, and mentors. This transforms the competition into a platform where the seeds of future collaborations are sown.
