Why Big Bang?“Big Bang: Moment at which the

observable expansion of the Universe began” (Wikipedia)

We at ideas4all believe that all ideas hold the seed of a great project. We think all ideas have the potential of producing a Big Bang, generating a great business opportunity that can improve the lives of people and of the planet.

What is the BigBang Challenge?

• It is the support offered by ideas4all to a creative process that turns ideas into great business opportunities.

• It is an invitation to all entrepreneurs to lay they egg ….. no, we mean their “idea”.

The prize

We have assigned a prize of

25,000$

which will go to the winning business idea.

The prize will go towards the project's start-up expenses.

“Laying ideas”September 30th to November 27th

• Is the period during which participants may submit the ideas that will take part in the challenge ……….

• ………and the period during which the community may vote for their favorite ideas.

• To ensure their idea's success, it is important for participants to obtain the support of their friends and to provoke discussion of their idea.

“Idea incubation”From December 7th to 31st

• December 7th will see the announcement of the 20 ideas selected for having obtained the most valid positive votes.

• To advance to the next stage, we will ask for ideas to be developed in a “mini business plan”, which will help us evaluate them.

The mini plans will have to be received by ideas4all by December 31st.

“Preparing for the BigBang”From December 31st until early January

which creates a community and a marketsurrounding the world of ideas.

The ideas4all platform connects “problems / opportunities” to “innovative solutions”, where both free of charge and renumerated ideas are exchanged between individuals, Universities, Companies, Governments and Institutions.
