Dear reader,

Kindly find the result spreadsheet as compiled by Professor Chan.

As you may know already the winners will be contacted to collect the books signed by the holder of a Nobel Peace Prize in Economics.

Furthermore, a selection will be made for an outstanding student from among the winners to get a free trip to Harvard and receive an opportunity to Co-Author an official Harvard Business School Case.

We would love to express appreciation to all those who were in attendance particularly the Wits Business School and Harvard University

Let us all continue to work together towards a thriving student entrepreneurship agenda.

We hosted the much anticipated Student Entrepreneurs Workshop where our speakers spoke and addressed the underlying issues for existing and upcoming student entrepreneurs. The President Tshireletso Zakhele spoke on the need for institutional policy review, to eradicate redtapes on student businesses, by various organs of student governance such as UJ Student Parliament. He also spoke on the need to enhance the conversation around varsity economy to allow the attainment of a Youth-led Sustainable Economic Growth which is supported by strong Student Economies across various universities. We need more graduates who will be job creators than job seekers.

We thank all students that joined us for the workshop and raised pertinent issues surrounding our current state of the student economy. We will create more platforms where students could trade, network, and get trained on how to stregthen their start ups.
