The Pitch – UK Final for entrepreneurs

How is your sales pitch? Could it win you a place as a national champion? The Pitch is a national competition for budding entrepreneurs to present their ideas in a number of regional events, culminating in the national final in London later this month. The idea started on a smaller scale as an event at the Bristol Design Festival in 2008. It was organised in conjunction with the University of the West of England and the Bristol Entrepreneur network. Now it has grown with finalists such as Jim Shaikh from England and his range of ‘innovative self-warming baby bottles’ and others from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The person putting forward an award winning pitch will win a prize package worth more than £50,000 including everything from accountancy services to a new suit.
