Launched in March this year, the TUSS 2011 grants an aspiring entrepreneur the chance to make their business dream comes true. This is the second year of Martell V.S.O.P.'s ‘The ultimate start-up space’.
This campaign offers the winner to bring their business idea to life through the provision of a 1,400-sq-ft shop space at 29 Boon Tat Street, between Singapore's CBD and China-town. The winner will have the space rent-free for a year, $20,000 seed capital, and business training from the Insead business school.

Singaporeans are also able to vote for their favourite business ideas, up until the end of the competition on 15 July.
The winner will be announced in August.
