    Introduction to SIFE

    SIFE stands for Students In Free Enterprise (for more information, see www.sife.org).

    SIFE is a global non-profit organization, supporting university students at more than 1,400
    schools in over 40 countries. Students are empowered to teach ethical entrepreneurship in their
    local communities. SIFE students are the “best and brightest” in their countries, demonstrate
    practical managerial skills, have hands-on experience and are committed to sustainable
    business.

    SIFE creates a global partnership with business and higher education that empowers university
    students to discover their full potential and become the best business-minded leaders through
    creating economic opportunity for their communities.

    Working in partnership with business and higher education, SIFE establishes student teams on
    university campuses. These teams are led by faculty advisors and they are challenged to develop
    community outreach projects that reach six educational criteria:

    • Market Economics
    • Success Skills
    • Entrepreneurship
    • Financial Literacy
    • Environmental sustainability
    • Business Ethics

    SIFE team members leverage their educational experiences, the expertise of their faculty
    advisors, the support of their local business advisory boards and the resources of their institutions
    to implement programs that create real economic opportunities for members of their communities.

    The effectiveness of their programs judged at competition. Each national SIFE organization
    conducts a national competition, which is judged by leaders from its business community. At
    competition, SIFE Teams present the results of their educational outreach projects and compete
    to determine which team was most successful at creating economic opportunity for others.

    These programs therefore have highly leveraged downstream effects. Our tertiary students spent
    literally thousands of voluntary hours working with communities (locally and overseas) to bring
    about real and sustainable economic benefits to those whom they serve.

    The strategic impact is twofold: developing tertiary students who are participating and changing
    the communities they serve.

    The winner of these competitions represents their respective countries to compete in the annual
    SIFE World Cup held in major cities around the world. The last SIFE World Cup was held in
    Singapore on 1 to 3 October 2008 and the 2009 SIFE World Cup will be held in Berlin, Germany
    on 4 to 6 October 2008.
    SIFE Asia

    Currently, SIFE is represented in Asia in eleven countries. These include Australia, China, India,
    Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

    SIFE Vietnam

    Plans are underway to launch SIFE program in Vietnam in 2009. A national competition will be
