For students
The NC represents a unique learning step of the Enactus experiential programme for students. Between December and April, supported by dedicated training appointments, the teams worked hard to turn a social and/or environmental problem into a sustainable business opportunity.
At the NC, they bring all their efforts on stage, in a final pitch that will be evaluated by a panel of judges, according to the Enactus Criterion.
For Enactus students, reuniting at the National Competition also means:
-
experience the power of Enactus as a network guided by positive values
-
interacting in a community of committed future leaders
-
connecting with both junior and experienced business partners
-
since 2023: seeking job opportunities at the Enactus Career Fair!
For the network
During the National Competition, Enactus Italy really brings together the entire network and welcomes new friends.
Corporate partners, academic representatives, third sector professionals and engaged students are brought together and have the opportunity to meet each other and exchange, gain insights, and expand their network.
Being part of this extraordinary event means connecting with like-minded individuals, industry professionals, and potential collaborators.

Enactus Career Fair
Connecting Enactus students with the business world is one transversal activity we try to include in any possible initiative we propose to our network.
In 2023, we also created a dedicated event during the annual National Competition, where Enactus talents can meet affiliated corporations and kick-start their professional career in businesses that value sustainability.
On this occasion, students also engage in further activities dedicated to personal growth that allow them to explore their talents and engage with business partners in unconventional and more informal ways.
