The University Challenge offers a unique opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to win a prize of one million Ghana cedis. This challenge aims to support entrepreneurial endeavors in a nation grappling with high unemployment rates. It provides a platform for individuals to break free from limitations and pursue their innovative ideas.
The focus of the University Challenge is to cultivate entrepreneurs and foster leadership and wealth creation. It departs from the conventional approach of obtaining degrees solely for job-seeking purposes and promotes a more entrepreneurial mindset.
The challenge will be a 10-to-13-week inter-university competition involving selected universities across the country. Each university will form teams to brainstorm and execute solutions to real-life challenges in their communities, drawing from the courses taught at their schools.
Participating universities include the University of Development Studies, University of Professional Studies, University of Ghana – Legon, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University of Cape Coast, Central University College, University of Health and Allied Sciences, All Nations University, University of Mines and Technology, and University of Energy and Resources.
Students who participate in the challenge will work with their peers to develop incubators for theoretical solutions and apply them to real-world problems.
