The Biggest Ideas
In the context of a global pandemic, the Milken-Penn GSE Education Business Plan Competition (EBPC) reimagined the 2020 EBPC Finals as a deconstructed virtual competition experience accessible to entrepreneurs and the broader education community worldwide.
The journey for eight finalists culminated in a “virtual pitch festival” and awards ceremony. Hundreds of viewers from over 30 countries tuned in to hear from these inspiring finalists, vote for their favorite pitch, and connect with other entrepreneurs, investors, educators, and more.
The Milken-Penn GSE EBPC is grateful to our generous and forward-thinking sponsors:
