SGS Business NextGen Expo – 3rd Edition

The 3rd Annual SGS Business NextGen Expo brought together innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking as our 11th Grade IB Business Management students showcased the businesses they have developed over the past several months.

As part of the IB Diploma Programme Business Management curriculum, this experience is designed to move beyond theory, allowing students to apply academic concepts in a real-world context while developing key skills such as critical thinking, communication, decision-making, and collaboration.

From concept to execution, students presented their ideas through a rigorous business plan, pitch presentations, branding, and interactive booths, demonstrating both their understanding of business fundamentals and their ability to engage with a real audience.

We extend our sincere thanks to our judges, guest speaker, and community members whose presence and feedback made this experience even more meaningful.

After all judges’ careful evaluation, we are proud to recognize the following:

🏆 Judges’ Awards

🥇 1st Place: HangOutRD

🥈 2nd Place: SpeedyWashes

🥉 3rd Place (Tie): PathFinder & ServiGo

🗳️ People’s Choice Awards

🥇 1st Place: S.A. ShieldPack

🥈 2nd Place: PathFinder

🥉 3rd Place: HangOutRD

This year’s Expo reinforced an important lesson: strong businesses require both solid execution and meaningful connection with their audience.

We are incredibly proud of our students for their commitment, professionalism, and entrepreneurial mindset.

This is just the beginning.
