After two successful seasons, NEGOCIO is returning with its third edition, bringing together undergraduate students from across Bangladesh to compete in sales strategy, persuasion and execution.

Prime NOW presents NEGOCIO 3.0, co-powered by Polar, as an inter-university sales strategy competition designed to test participants’ business thinking, communication skills and ability to execute strategic ideas under pressure.

The competition is being organised by COMMUNIC, Institute of Business Administration, Jahangirnagar University.

NEGOCIO 3.0 will bring together some of the country’s most driven undergraduates to compete through multiple rounds focused on strategy development, pitch preparation and live presentation.
