#makeyourmark is a challenge open to all University of Edinburgh undergraduate students to create a business idea that matches profit with purpose. Working with other undergraduate students from across the University, you will develop and pitch business ideas that aim to tackle inequalities and transform local communities while further developing your teamwork, communication, research, and presentation skills.

Inspiring business leaders and bright minds from the University will support you throughout this experience. This year's prizes include mentoring sessions with Alice Thompson, Professional Purpose Coach and Co-Founder of Social Bite, and an ethical gift box from Social Stories Club.

And most importantly, you will #makeyourmark!

#makeyourmark is open to University of Edinburgh undergraduates from years 1 to 4.
