The objective of 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀@𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹, the educational initiative of Boston Consulting Group (BCG), is to give students practical business knowledge and key qualifications for their future professional life, as well as awaken their entrepreneurial spirit. business@school is continuously developed further together with the participating teachers. Every year, more than 1,000 students are taking the opportunity to get a firsthand taste of the business world together with their teachers and 400 professionals from around 20 partner companies and BCG who volunteer as coaches. The highlight of the year lets students prove their entrepreneurial prowess: In teams, they develop their own business ideas including a viable business plan with which they then compete against each other. 𝗯@𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 The video competition by business@school connects business and digital know-how under the patronage of Elke Büdenbender, judge and wife of Germany’s Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Students between 14 and 20 at all types of schools may choose one of four companies, analyze it using four questions and then present their results in four-minute videos. Participants expand their business, digital, and creative skills, critically deal with information, and get to know entrepreneurship and businesses. All participants will receive a certificate of participation and, in addition, the best videos will be awarded with special experience prizes.
