BiD, Business in Development Network

The Business in Development (BiD) Network is an on-line community for entrepreneurship and development in developing countries. It's aim is to boost entrepreneurship in developing countries, to make high potential business plans visible, to link finance and expertise to business opportunities and to engage specialists, professionals and investors.

Mediamatic designed the BiD website including the Bid Challenge. This annual international Business Plan competition has over fifteen hundred participants who submit a business plan. We developed an application to enable screeners and members of the Jury to assess entries to the Bid Challenge online.

The BiD Network was initiated by the Business in Development (BiD) programme of the NCDO; the Netherlands Committee for Sustainable Development. The BiD Network is now part of the BiD Network Foundation.
