Teaming up with students from the Bonn Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, eight New Europe students competed in the AIB's International Business Plan Competition on December 2, presenting their business ideas in front of panel of jurors (Dr. Hassels, Rheinischer Merkur newspaper, Dr. Anatoly Zhuplev, LMU, Viktoria Börner & Ture Petersenn, AIB).
The teams had worked on their ventures throughout the semester under the umbrella of a class offered by LMU's Dr. Charles Vance in the New Europe Program. Instructor Frank Maikranz from the Bonn Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences taught the students how to develop a formal business plan and how to effectively present their ideas. The winners will be announced at the New Europe program's farewell party on December 11.
