With the aim of improving entrepreneurial skills of the students, the most anticipated event of the year for the students of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU)-- promotional activities of TrailBlazer 3.0 began on December 01, 2020. Bangladesh Agricultural University Career Club (BAUCC) will be organising the event.
Like the previous two editions, the event will have three rounds-- project proposal submission, business plan submission and final pitch. Organisers hope to continue promoting the event throughout December and call for the first round submission by the end of the month. Two workshops will be held after the first and second round respectively for the selected candidates from both the rounds. Final round of the event will be held by the end of January next year.
Prize money for this event is 100 euros, which is sponsored by the Dutch Project 'Development of an Entrepreneurial Eco-System at BAU.' Project representative Mr Vin Moorer encouraged the students of BAU to participate in this competition through a video message. The General Secretary of BAUCC Mashoor Ahmed Bhuiyan expressed the club's satisfaction about initiating this event for the third time. "Even if we are facing some new challenges due to Covid-19 pandemic, we hope to make the best use of this 'new normal' situation and continue our activities online."
