Monash New Enterprise Challenge 2008

The Monash New Enterprise Challenge (MNEC) is a university-wide new venture business planning competition for Monash University graduate level students. The aim of the competition is to foster a sense of entrepreneurship providing graduate level students with a real world simulated process of raising venture capital for a new business proposal.

MNEC is aligned to the prestigious global Moot Corp Competition conducted by the McCoomb School of Business at the University of Texas. The winning Monash team competes in the John Heine Entrepreneurial Challenge for the right to represent Australia at the Moot Corp Competition.

To be eligible to participate in the competition each team member must have been enrolled in a Monash University graduate program during the calendar year of the competition. Students who graduate during the year were also eligible to participate.
