Australia Curtin University of Technology Curtin SIFE developed "Entrepreneur's Challenge," a competition to design innovative products and services to fill a market need. Participants worked in teams to go from idea generation and business planning to final submissions and presentations. Approximately 120 people competed and 30 businesses were launched as a result.

China Shanghai International Studies University SIFE SISU spent more than 2,000 hours implementing "Rainbow over the Fields" in the rural villages of Yancheng, Yixing and Chengde. The project assisted impoverished Chinese farmers by providing direct access to education and basic resources. Farmers were provided seeds and other supplies, and they learned supply and demand, efficient use of resources, new agriculture methods, and how to search the Internet for information. One farmer, Zhang Danong, said, "Through your program, I really broadened my view... to earn a brighter future for my family!"
