Business Challenge fits in with the New Economy Initiative strategies, as the program is aimed to spark the spirit for new entrepreneurs and keep our strongest resource, educated people, right here in North Dakota.

Since Business Challenge began in 1978, we have brought
together over 7,500 North Dakota high school students,
and
elementary
and secondary educators, for an experience of a lifetime. Business
Challenge is North Dakota's week-long, action-packed, entrepreneurial
business
camp. North Dakota was the second state in the nation to develop a
business awareness educational program. The program has now spread
to over 19
states, including the countries of Australia and New Zealand.
One of the objectives of Business Challenge is to provide students
and educators with a better appreciation and understanding of business
and entrepreneurship. 
Over
250 businesses, organizations, and individuals provide sponsorships,
financial support, and in kind donations each year to enable students
and educators to attend the program with minimal costs.
