Every year young students get the opportunity to start their own business and run it for one year. After a year an exhibition is held, organised by the young businesses.

As a part of ANSWER's WPB a business called "Catchers UF" received some sponsoring and advise from the project. The reason is that their product is a climate smart magnetic key table made from waste materials. The frame is made of left over wood from a builders supplier and the magnets come from old hard discs which are taken apart and recycled.

The businesses also get the opportunity to enter a competition with 14 different awards. One of them is "Best green business 2010" and the winner was "Greener Future UF", a company that made a special, green recycling bag with a pocket for replaceable labels.
