Have you ever wanted to turn a unique idea into a business? Here's your chance!

Pitch Battles is a three-day entrepreneurship competition bringing together students from UPEI and Holland College to develop business ideas, build their entrepreneurial skills, and compete for cash prizes!

The twist? You won't know the competition's theme or your teammates until the event begins!

Throughout the weekend, you'll collaborate with students from different backgrounds, receive guidance from experienced entrepreneurs and industry mentors, and participate in hands-on workshops to bring your team's idea to life. You’ll have the opportunity to request one fellow full-time UPEI student or Holland College student, and as long as they sign up and request you back, you’ll be guaranteed that teammate. The competition wraps up with teams pitching their ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to win $4,000 in prizes!

Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, looking to develop new skills, or simply enjoy creative problem-solving, Pitch Battles is an opportunity to challenge yourself, make new connections, and gain valuable hands-on experience.
