The National Finale of Entrepreneurship World Cup – Bangladesh was virtually hosted on September 5, 2020, by the Bangladesh Chapter of Entrepreneurship World Cup.
As one of the key strategic partners, LightCastle assisted in shortlisting the submissions from a pool of more than 460 applications. In addition, senior consultants of the team took part in judging the initial rounds of the competition and picking out the highly promising applicants from the rest.
