The idea behind FOA Business Idea Competition

Startups (freshly created companies) are booming everywhere according to Get2Growth website (link) and this will keep on increasing at an exponential rate. So with that same motivating entrepreneurial mindset, we are launching the FOA Business Idea Competition with a clear goal of educating firstly students about the word of entrepreneurship and helping them to start their own business.
