Future Competitions & Projects
Below is a "preview" of upcoming projects and competitions from the S.E.VEN Fund. Our intent in doing this is two-fold: first, we welcome feedback and ideas on the proposed programs (link to our feedback page) and secondly, we want to build awareness of our forthcoming activities.

Disclaimer: The SEVEN Fund reserves the right not to move ahead with competitions listed above, or to substitute other programs in their place, at its sole and absolute discretion.
Entrepreneurs create products, services and jobs. They expand economies, improve people's lives, provide employment (high and rising wages) and bring about competition. A competitive environment, in turn, gives rise to efficiency, meritocracy and further innovations and entrepreneurial drive.
The potent combination of entrepreneurship and technological innovation can forge an environment that is conducive to further enterprise, involving even government policy in supporting entrepreneurship and innovation.
