The King's College is an environment for change. Its unique and demanding curriculum serves as a catalyst for both excellence in work and influence in society. The Business Plan Competition's vision is similar to that of The King's College by holding exemplary standards and preparing students for their professional careers. The Business Plan Competition provides a wonderful opportunity for entrepreneurial students to apply their gifts through tangible projects.

Innovation is a gift; without it the world would be a predictable and boring place. The ability to create is truly marvelous and is meant to be utilized. God gave man dominion over the earth and responsibility to care for after His creation. The Business Plan Competition promotes this idea of co-creation, as well as that of shalom, or “peace.” Co-creation is a way of restoration: creating businesses that are managed according to Godly principles, including genuine respect for the individual, trustworthy dealings, and wise stewardship of resources, creates a system that brings peace and prosperity. This competition encourages students to explore co-creation and implement shalom in the workplace.

This year's theme for the Business Plan Competition is poverty. We are not looking for non-profit ideas, but for all businesses ventures containing potential to grow into largely profitable corporations containing solutions for areas of poverty. We anticipate impressive and excellent submissions in the fall of 2011.
