In The 9th UI Studentpreneur, each team must make a business plan that is related to the main theme, which is focused on 鈥淯sing Technology in Helping SMEs to Grow鈥.

These prospective retirees will be brought together using Goldtimes platform which is accessible through an app or a website. There, the prospective retirees will be given some questions aimed to identify their business aspirations.

The prospective retirees must then choose one of the business recommendations to proceed.

Throughout the competition, the team were faced with many challenges and obstacles, such as managing their time and doing some preparations for the competition.
