Long story short: a 21 yo engineering student (renewable energies specifically). Got an offer to join the national student entrepreneur association, which organizes big networking events across the country that connects students, professionals, businessmen, start ups…
While making my resume I noticed that I have fairly decent experience for my age in my country: lots of social work experience, founded and managing one of the biggest clubs in campus, experience in several others and currently the marketing lead for my family's recently-founded clothing business.
Issue is not knowing what business idea to throw for the interviewing process. I am currently building the foundation of a travel agency that I want to create (by creating a travel club to gain experience and market myself early), trying to get my family to upscale and start selling abroad (very little competition in a niche but well demanded clothing) and directing my studies towards starting a renewable (solar) energy plant in the vast desert and an adjacent solar panel sales business.
I know that I may have too much to try to handle at the same time, but I don't want to give up on any of these ideas for now. What do you think is the best idea to pitch? Or should I just get any other random idea just to get admitted and independently network for my own sake and goals?
A chance at the "best" networking platform in my country?

Dude, that’s a lot on your plate, and honestly, totally understandable. It’s awesome you’re juggling all these ideas. shows you’re motivated. But yeah, picking one to really lean into for this networking event is Don’t try to pitch everything. It’ll just be overwhelming for the judges and you. I’d suggest the travel club. it’s the most immediate and tangible thing you’ve got. It just you show youre building something real, even if its small. the solar stuff and the clothing line. those are goood long-term goals, but theyre not going to wow anyone at a networking event. Focus on building the travel club, getting some early traction, and then you can start thinking about how those other ideas tie in.
start with the travel club. it’s the easiest win.
omg the networking potential here is insane! definitely take the offer and bring business cards for your family’s clothing line – could be a game changer for marketing reach.
