SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

BVC is BMUN’s Shark Tank, with a global emphasis and a focus on environmental sustainability. Delegates will create groups and become “founders” of a company with others who share similar ideas or decide to build an entirely new innovation together. Over the course of committee, groups of delegates will create a fully fleshed out business plan for their company, which could provide anything from a new app to a reinvention of a country's existing transportation systems. Groups will pitch their ideas to the dais, who will act as investors in their companies. With the money they recieve, business plans will need to be adapted, changed, and further developed. As with real life, there will be crises that companies will have to face and overcome to stay in business. Over the course of BMUN LXVII, the goal of the founders is to be able to raise enough money to implement their innovation and earn a profit. Unlike traditional MUN committees, BVC will operate under a continual unmoderated caucus. The perpetual unmoderated caucus will be punctuated by moderated caucuses on an as-needed basis to discuss crises, business issues affecting all companies, and collaboration with other companies. BVC is also a full-tech committee, as the dais believes that technology is one of the best tools for collaboration and research for developing a business plan.
