Hidden Champion: The CEO Challenge

You’ve just received a once in a lifetime opportunity:

To build a brand-new subsidiary for the Solianis Prime Group (SPG, name anonymised); a global industrial holding renowned for precision, reliability, and innovation. It operates across multiple sectors, including the construction industry, plant engineering, and shipbuilding.

The ‘Hidden Champion: The CEO Challenge’ is aimed at anyone who wants to develop a business concept under real-life conditions.

Your task is to design a business model for a new subsidiary. The goal: to become profitable within three years and achieve a turnover of USD 10–20 million.

An investment framework of up to USD 2 million is available for the implementation of the best concept. The capital is real and will be allocated to bring the idea to life if BeeUp and SPG consider the winning project marketable.

During the challenge, you will receive coaching from experts, support with strategy and financial planning, and insight into real decision-making processes.

The best teams can use this capital to further develop their concept and will also receive up to USD 2'000 in prize money.

Register now and get in touch with the coaches for your first coaching session.
