What is the Formation Zone Business Challenge?

The challenge is a business plan competition brought to you by the award-winning business start-up service Formation Zone. It's an annual competition that helps you gain knowledge and expertise to develop your innovative business idea.

There are six different categories - social enterprise, creative, digital and technology, marine, health and environment - so there is something for everybody. 

Innovative business ideas aim to create a product or service that is new or improved in order to satisfy a customer need. Previous challenge prize winners include ideas for environmentally-friendly cat products and a student delivery service.

This event is part of Plymouth Enterprise Week 2016
