Vinsers Excel At The Z Pitch 3 Grand Finale: From Ideas To Promising Business Models
After an extensive 7-month journey of rigorous competition, the Z Pitch 3 Grand Finale - an entrepreneurial competition organized by The VZNIS Business Club at Vinschool - has successfully concluded.
This year’s competition showcased pioneering business solutions in smart transportation, leveraging artificial intelligence, advanced technology, and sensor applications to address pressing traffic challenges in Vietnam. Participating teams were required not only to propose innovative and practical solutions but also to substantiate their business viability through 15 critical evaluation criteria, encompassing market analysis, marketing strategy, revenue generation models, financial forecasting, and exit strategies.
The Grand Finale held last weekend featured meticulously prepared presentations, demonstrating the depth of research, strategic planning, and commitment of the competing teams. Beyond fostering entrepreneurial thinking, Z Pitch 3 served as a dynamic platform for students to cultivate public speaking, critical analysis, and collaborative problem-solving skills.
“Throughout our journey with Z Pitch and the development of our project, Badosa, our team encountered significant challenges, particularly in conceptualizing a solution aligned with Vietnam’s traffic landscape. However, through expert-led workshops and training sessions, we refined our approach and confidently defended our business model before the judging panel. This competition has offered us invaluable opportunities to connect with leading industry professionals, learn to transform conceptual ideas into market-ready solutions, and enhance our strategic business acumen”, shared Mạnh Dũng, a member of OUTSIDE INC. from Vinschool Times City High School.
