Everyone can have a brilliant startup idea, BUT not everyone can practically implement that idea into a concrete business.

Some ideas may be something important, but others can be nothing at all. The outcomes are spontaneous, but whether successful or not, every idea redefines the economy and gradually enhances the lives of people. By participating in MIT-CHIEF Business Plan Contest 2015, you can be a part of this change. MIT-CHIEF will accompany you on your path to be a successful entrepreneur!
