Welcome to the website of the Rozjezdy VŠPJ project

The Rozjezdy VŠPJ project helped to develop the entrepreneurial potential of students.

Through coaching and expert advice, it helped students to realise their business ideas.

In our experience, there are many individuals among students who carry ideas in their heads with the potential for great commercial success. Uncertainty, ignorance or lack of support leads these people to miss their chance.

In two consecutive years, the College of Polytechnics offered interested parties a unique opportunity to safely test their business plan and have it assessed by experts from both practice and academia. Successful proposals were taken forward to the next round of the competition, with several finalists ultimately given the opportunity to consult and collaborate with top experts in the field.

It was possible to enter the competition as an individual or as a team of up to 3 members. It was also possible to submit one or more (no limit) business ideas from one author or author team.

The presentation was followed by the development and guidance of the selected teams working on the business plan. For this, they were provided with expert lectures by academic staff from the Department of Economic Studies and practitioners. Valuable gifts were provided for all final round participants.

Unethical project proposals and such proposals that did not respect the legislation of the Czech Republic were excluded from the competition.

BUSINESS PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Practical and social usefulness of the idea, i.e. necessity
2. Reality of translating the idea into reality
3. The novelty or uniqueness of the idea and its timeliness
4. Time complexity of the idea (i.e. how much time will be needed to prepare your idea, roughly estimate weeks, months)
5. Defining the segment (i.e. identifying the target group, region, county)
6. Financial burden and rough identification of funding sources (i.e. what will you fund it from and how much would it cost you to start this activity)

And how did the development go further and what happened to the ideas that were put forward?

After the first coaching session, participants were able to attend several workshops sharing practical experience with other interesting personalities from the business sphere. With their help, the projects might have been further developed and transformed into reality, i.e. brought to full life.
