This competition consists of two main activities, which are environment analysis of the village (Desa Duyung, Mojokerto) and the presentation of the business plan. The main purpose for this competition is to find the best idea that can be implemented in Desa Duyung.

The competition consists of 2 stages, Preliminary Round (to choose the top 15 teams), and the final round (15 teams). In the final round, teams present their ideas of the business that can be implemented in Desa Duyung and make Desa Duyung an independent, strong, and powerful village. Our team idea was very simple. We made a crisps and candied from the ingredient of durian. We chose durian because it was the village’s most prominent ingredient. We did not expect to win since our idea was very simple compared to other teams ideas. However, we won this competition because our idea was very simple yet complete, clear, and can be easily implemented to the Desa Duyung. The invited judges are lecturer from Petra University, Widya Mandala University, and a prominent business man.

The third winner is also student team from Universitas Gadjah Mada, and the first winner came student team from Universitas Airlangga.
