Why US?

Organized by the Harvard Crimson, one-on-one guidance by Harvard alumni

The Harvard Crimson Business Competition is officially organized by The Harvard Crimson, a school newspaper at Harvard University. In the Championship Round, Harvard alumni guide students in understanding the industry and exploring the business market by analyzing real cases. Students will refine their business plan works from theory to practice and ultimately complete the roadshow presentation.

Business Workshops covering various topics enhance students’ comprehensive skills

During the Championship Round, students will be invited to participate in various Business Workshops. The Harvard Crimson will invite senior mentors to share knowledge and skills from multiple dimensions, such as market research, corporate development, and roadshow techniques. Through learning and interaction, the workshops aim to help students gain business insights, cultivate and develop innovative thinking, leadership and public speaking skills, thereby improving their self-competitiveness.

Excellent business plans will be published in the Harvard Crimson

Mentors will guide students to explore six challenges and identify business opportunities. By applying the business knowledge and skills they have learned, students will propose innovative business plans, continuously optimize and improve their business logic and strategies, and accumulate valuable practical business experience.

A Comprehensive experience of Harvard University's academic and daily life

During the Championship Round, students will immerse themselves in the academic and social environment at Harvard University. In addition to the daily academic challenges, The Harvard Crimson has specially arranged a dinner for students to gather with Harvard alumni, upperclassmen, and other contestants to share and exchange ideas.

The Global Challenge for top international students

Nearly 2,000 students from 10 countries submitted their business plans in the Preliminary Round. The best business plans authors were invited to the Championship round, where they will meet contestants from all over the world. They will meet delegates from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, enhancing their ability to learn and live in a diversified environment.

Official Authorized Certificates to prove business intelligence and innovative thinking abilities

The Championship Round participants will receive participation certificates and award certificates jointly issued by The Harvard Crimson and ASDAN China. These certificates will reflect the students' comprehensive quality and potential in the business field and become an additional advantage for applying to prestigious universities.
