Prime College’s Entrepreneurial Management Club is organising the finale of Prime Bizfest at the college’s bachelor’s building in Khusibun, Kathmandu, on Friday. The week-long event brought together aspiring entrepreneurs to share innovative ideas amongst themselves.

Fifteen teams participated in a mentorship programme organised during the festival. All teams will present what they have learned during the various workshops of the programme through presentations on Friday.

The finale will also have a panel discussion on ‘Why Nepal’, encouraging the youth to study and work in Nepal instead of moving abroad. Anil Kesary Shah, the former CEO of Nabil Bank, Zenisha Moktan, the retail director at IMS group, and Aabhushan Jyoti Kansakar, the founder and CEO of Jeeve Health, are the panellists for the event.

The panel discussion will be followed by a treasure hunt in which teams (from the mentorship programme) who secure a spot in the top 10 of the competition can participate. The treasure hunt will have clues and questions based on workshops. Teams who secure top five spots in the treasure hunt will proceed to the grand finale of Prime BizFest and pitch their startup ideas to the judges. The winner will be awarded with a cash prize of Rs50,000.

An open mic session, with performances by popular stand-up comedian Sujan Zimba and the college’s students, will close the event.
